Thanks, Joshua, for both your messages. There is really no need to respond
to both the list and directly. As I said, I've had Amanda working fine under
Mandrake 9.1, it was the upgrade to 10.0 that caused the problem. And, yes,
when I mentioned the docs, I did include FAQ-O-MATIC, and the archives.

Indeed I have that entry (and one for root, to allow amrecover) in
.amandahosts. However, you did give me cause to ensure that it was there :-)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
