Check in /tmp/amanda for debugging files. Also do a 'kill -HUP' on the inetd process to make sure it rereads its configuration, and then run 'amcheck -c test'. Did you compile Amanda to use fully qualified hostnames -- if so make sure that you have that in the amandahosts file, you can even put both in there for now.
In my experience, it's usually forgetting to HUP inetd after adding in the amanda entries. If there's a problem with the .amandahosts, Amanda will complain about permissions, not the host being down. -doug On Tue, 5 Mar 2002, Mary N Koroleva wrote: > According to Ignacio Dosil Lago: > > I see ... .amandahosts is correctly filled but ... > > Where is the amanda user home directory?
