Hi.
I'd installed amanda a short time ago. Backups are working fine, however
now I'm testing the recover and I'm not able to get the server to access
itself.

I've changed the user in /root/.amandahosts, commented out the

Root???  Shouldn't that be user ~amanda/.amandahosts.

localhost entry as well. And played with ownershop of amandaidx.
All to no avail.

# amrecover CCC
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p1. Contacting server on localhost ...
amrecover: cannot connect to localhost: Connection refused

localhost???

try amrecover -t the.amanda.server -s the.amanda.server

Now it's Stefan's turn to point to the FAQ about localhost again.
