I've just inherited an amanda setup that has apparently never worked properly. The specific problem I'm trying to sort at the moment is summed up below.

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: NAK finn.internal.domain.com: access as amanda not allowed from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open /usr/amanda/etc/amanda/.amandahosts: Permission denied

The user "amanda" should be able to read that file.  (and the all the
upper directories too).
Just checked, 'everyone' has access to that file and its parent directories...

Client check: 1 host checked in 0.002 seconds, 1 problem found

finn is a Windows server, and as far as I can see the client is setup the same on this as on another windows machine that is backing up ok. Its got 'amanda' and 'amanda_backup' as users of the machines, amanda is installed in c:\usr on both. There's a .amandahosts file on both with the same in:

orinoco x.x.x.x
orinoco.internal.domain.com x.x.x.x

This seems to imply that "x.x.x.x" is an ip-number.
No it is not.
The second item on the line is the "remoteuser" (defaults to local user
if empty).

Yes, sorry, my bad, it is infact

orinoco amanda
orinoco.internal.domain.com amanda

not sure where I got the idea it was an IP address from!

Thanks,
jc
