I've been having a bit of trouble adding a client today and just wanted to get 
a reality check before I bang my head too much.

My new server with Amanda 3.3.6 is temporarily on a private address inside our 
department NAT. I was just trying today to add a 2.5.3 client that is in 
another department on a public address. I can ssh to it, and I am using 
auth=ssh. I've got the keys set up. One thing I noticed is that the key was 
specifying /usr/local/libexec/amandad, but the newer Amanda was calling for 
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad. I tried working around that by creating the 
directory on the client and symlinking all the executables into the directory. 
After that, I at least was getting debug files on the client (before it had 
been nothing).

Am I going to be able to get this working? Or is it an insurmountable problem 
to be on a private address behind the NAT?

It seems from http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda-compatibility.7.html that the 
versions ought not to be an issue, but I don't know what other things besides 
the amanda directory in libexec might be getting tangled up between the older 
Amanda and the newest Amanda.

At the moment, I'm still getting "selfcheck request failed: EOF on read".
