Nods to those smarter than I am, but if that is your specific concern you might do better to just set up arpwatch. It pairs up ipaddresses with the mac address of the card in each machine on your network. After set up it will monitor the network and can email/page you if a different mac address pops up with a different ip address.

Best,

I would like to add an additional level of authentication to AMANDA. I really don't want to setup kerberos, but want something to keep someone from hacking into one of our internal machines, taking over the amanda servers IP and backing up one of the other machines. Also, I want it to be simple to setup.

I know it is a longshot that it would ever happen, but that is what I have been asked to protect us from.
