Hello all.

I've been through this problem before, I just can't remember hoe I fixed it.
I've reinstalled RH 7.3 and copied the conf files onto the new installation.
When I run amcheck, I get the error:

ERROR: merlin: [access as amanda not allowed from root@merlin]
amandahostsauth failed

I've followed the installation guide and the docs say the .amandahosts file
isn't configured properly or the inetd configuration file must have the
wrong user name, I don't find such a file.. I've tried changing permissions
(full permissions) on the .amandahosts file, but no luck. The file reads:

merlin.systematic.lan     root
merlin.systematic.lan    amanda

What am I not doing?

Reguards,
Trevor.
