That, I think, leads back to whats in /home/amanda/.amandahosts example from my machine: coyote.coyote.den amanda localhost.localdomain amanda coyote.coyote.den root I've been told that the last line is for amrecover or amrestore, which must be run as root. It is not needed for amdump I don't believe. Note the use of fully qualified domain names, aka FQDN's above, and the localhost is not among them. Tnhe use of localhost will eat your lunch come recover time, as that is not a unique name. These names will resolve thru the /etc/hosts file which does the translation to an ip address as follows using mine as an example: -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
