I'm attempting an amrecover on a Fedora 8 client (amanda-client-2.5.2p1-8.fc8), with a Fedora Core 6 tape-server (amanda-backup_server-2.5.1p3-1.fc6). I've done all the mucking around with ssh keys as described here: http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-auth.html The error is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# amrecover daily Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password). AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on tape-server ...

From the tape-server's /var/log/secure: Feb 22 22:42:43 tape-server sshd[4780]: input_userauth_request: invalid user amanda How do I tell amrecover to connect as amandabackup instead of amanda?
