I'm setting up a new Ubuntu box as my next generation Amanda server. Somehow the /etc/hosts file for this machine was created looking like this: 170.85.113.24 localhost.localdomain localhost At least

I suppose some would call that a security risk, but he has other, greater problems that once he knows howto fix, will make this an easily done fix. The fact that we're discussing it will also help. -

FQDN's or addresses, but see below. Yes, 'hostname' should return the FQDN. Here I don't use a dns server for local stuff, just the /etc/hosts files on all machines. And each FQDN also has a one word
OK, I corected my /etc/hosts file as shown above. Now, when I run a dump it seems to go OK (went to hloding disk, but when it finishes I expect to find a tape name problem. However, on the Amanda ser

You did build amanda as a unpriviledged (uid>500) user, and then become root to install her, followed by a run of ldconfig, also as root? This sound like a permissions problem, and not doing the abov
Again, I've never done that in the past. I've just made ceratin that the amanda user exists, and done the build/make install as root. Permissions have alwasy been fine. Having sad that, I'll rebuild

Having sad that, I'll rebuild the whole thing today using FQDB's, and building as amanda, then installing as root. It is not important as who you build -- root is no problem (but security minded sysa

They should not have been, ever, when doing it that way. It doesn't ever overwrite your existing amanda.conf, nor any other file in your /config/ directory. Now if you are refering to the arguments p
Right, we are good on that. I just foudn that out, to my pleasent suprise. In any case, I rebuilt uinsg FQDN's, and I still have these problems, An amcheck reports: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -

Did your rebuild also involve rerunning "configure"? If so, before doing the configure, did you run "make distclean"? The configure program retains some info from run to run so it doesn't have to red
