ssh keys only

[Vicki Stanfield]

Most of our servers are accessible only via ssh with a root key. Does 
amanda work in such a setup or does the amanda user have to have regular 
login access? One of my coworkers changed one of our servers to only 
accept logins via ssh and now amanda doesn't seem to be able to get 
there and we get the following message:

WARNING: /host/: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?

I suspect that amanda simply doesn't like not being able to log in. Is 
this accurate?
