And we are back to the single, most covered in the docs, error. We don't mean to get short with newbies, but the use of localhost is a no-no. Please change your disklist entry to use the FQDN of the machine in question. Then, backup just a few days in the archives where I have posted the amanda file that goes in /etc/xinetd.d, and I'll mention that it may be you do not have the /home/(user)/.amandahosts file properly configured. Also, I suspect thats an rpm install, as 2.4.2p2 is getting pretty long in the tooth now. I'm running 2.4.5b1-20040510 snapshot here. While it is possible to beat the rpm versions around and make them work, generally speaking its a lot easier to build from the tarball, it takes me about 4 minutes to build each new snapshot and install it by use of the scripts I use here. >(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) > >My OS is Red Hat 8.0 > >Some could help me ? > >Regards, > >InfraNet Tecnologia >Fábio M.
