This is both the server and client, and eventually I hope to add more
clients.
the man amanda-auth(7) , didn't tell me how to configure 'local'.
Once I change amanda.conf section
define dumptype root-tar {}
to include: auth "local"
Now:
su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck Monthly_Mother"
reports:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: mother_inner: selfcheck request failed: mother_inner: is not
local
Client check: 1 host checked in 10.012 seconds. 1 problem found.
Where do I read about why mother_inner isn't local?
