I have erred on the side of terseness in my original post ;> Of course, I have tried every combination of hostname and address in disklist, and also made certain that that name there is the _same_ as that used in amandahosts: # bragi.private.network sda1 comp-root # bragi.private.network sda4 comp-user 192.168.123.150 sda1 comp-root 192.168.123.150 sda4 comp-user # localhost sda1 comp-root # localhost sda4 comp-user Furthermore, from this host, both amanda server & client, I have _no_ name resolution issues: # host bragi bragi.private.network has address 192.168.123.150 # ping bragi PING Bragi.private.network (192.168.123.150): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.123.150: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.123.150: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.123.150: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms --- Bragi.private.network ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.0/0.0/0.1 ms Everywhere, I see the strong warnings against using localhost. With Debian, localhost is the default used in disklist.
