I've confirmed this is only happening on FreeBSD. Has anyone gotten encrypted
backups with amanda-2.5.1 and the instructions at
<http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-gpg.html> to work?
Each time it's the same error, Password must be 20 characters long ... etc.
Maybe someone can explain the chain of how amanda actually launches the
encrypted portion of the backup, I can't quite follow it.
As always, any help would be appreciated.

So far I've tried it on two versions of FreeBSD (4.8, 4.11) and the
problem persists. Looks like aespipe is not really getting the
passphrase that's stored in /home/amanda/.am_passphrase ... Hmmmm ...

Can you make the content of .am_passphrase to be 20 chars long?
It's a requirement by aespipe on some platform, I guess.

I'm pretty sure this isn't necessarily a problem with amanda but more
of one
with the utilities used to encrypt the backups. I'm using amanda
2.5.1p3 and
attempting to encrypt the transmission and storage of backups. I've
done this
on a few machines, and this one is running FreeBSD 4.11 along with
the following
utilities:
aespipe 2.3c
gnupg 1.4.2
tar 1.13.25
amgtar - script
bz2aespipe - script
amaespipe - script
Whenever I try to run the backup on this machine I see an error in
sendbackup.xxxxx:

and sendsize exits without error.
I haven't seen this "Password must be ..." error on any of the other
systems
where I'm using this setup. In the amanda users home directory I've
created:
.am_passphrase
.gnupg/am_key.gpg
both with permissions of 0600 and the contents of amanda-client.conf
are:
auth "ssh"
ssh_keys "/.ssh/id_rsa_amrecover"
Any information would be extremely appreciated.
