remove the mailing address and @ sign, all you want is the FQDN and the user. And I don't think you need the localhost entry, which is best not to use around amanda because its not unique to that machine. So you want: zampo.edzen.net amanda zampo.edsen.net root only. >In /etc/hosts I have the following(there's more entries by I don't > think it's relavent): >127.0.0.1 localhost >192.168.0.10 zampo.edzen.net zampo > >The linuxbox is on a private network.
