I won't say the docs are full of it, but there are warnings about
using 'localhost' as a domain name for anything amanda related. The
problem is that its non-specific in that every machine is 'localhost'
to itself. You MUST use either the FQDN or a known alias or the true
ip address of the machine in question. And yes, 127.0.0.1 is just as
invalid as localhost.
I'm told the newer amcheck will warn you about it, just to keep
everybody on the same page. But I've not tested it as I don't use it
(localhost).
