A common mistake is to use the hostname "localhost".

Please read the localhost-question in the document
docs/TOP-TEN-QUESTIONS in your AMANDA-tarball.

As I have mentioned already the current AMANDA-CVS-version already
contains a patch which will give you a WARNING if you run amcheck and
have something like localhost in your disklist.

This patch will also go into AMANDA 2.4.4p3.

As the regular readers and/or contributors on this list will agree,
this patch will reduce the localhost-centric traffic in here  ...
