So... I tried to remove Amanda an rebuild it from FreeBSD ports, but it came with missing Perl module Config.pm At tshat stage, I suspected something fishy with FreeBSD ports, so I ended up copying all the Perl libraries for Amanda from another known working server and now everything is fine. I think that the other server is working because it was not build as a 3.3.9 server, but had been upgraded from many prior versions and the missing Perl buits where installed by those previous versions. I strongly susppect that le port for Amanda on FreeBSD has some issues. Also, 3.9.9 is the latest version available as a port for FreeBSD. Bests, Olivier
