One other item not in the previous reply, is the /home/amanda/.amandahosts, which contains: [root@coyote ~]# cat /home/amanda/.amandahosts coyote.coyote.den amanda amdump amindexd amidxtaped coyote amanda amdump amindexd amidxtaped coyote.coyote.den root amdump amindexd amidxtaped # gene.coyote.den root amdump amindexd amidxtaped # gene root amdump amindexd amidxtaped shop.coyote.den root amdump amindexd amidxtaped shop root amdump amindexd amidxtaped shop.coyote.den amanda amdump amindexd amidxtaped shop amanda amdump amindexd amidxtaped Some of which is obviously un-needed, but the docs aren't _that_ specific, so I was covering all the bases. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
