Joe,
I've seen that error, I've usually found it to be a read herring.
I've found that in an otherwise correct amanda config,
- if the client is unable to resolve the IP NAME of the server
and the server NAME is in .amandahosts than we fail to authenticate.
I've resolved this by adding the amanda SERVER to the client's
/etc/hosts or adding the server IP NUMBER in .amandahosts.
YMMV,
Brian
