Subject: amrecover questions ?



Hi Listserv,
I am trying to get "amrecover" to work.  I keep getting this message :

 # amrecover daily
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p2. Contacting server on localhost ...
220 lnxdev AMANDA index server (2.4.4p2) ready.
500 Access not allowed: [access as amanda not allowed from root@localhost]
amandahostsauth failed
***1159*** [root@lnxdev:/etc/amanda/daily] *** uid=0 ***

Here is what my .amandahosts looks like :

#  cat  .amandahosts
lnxdev.ncci.com         root

Here is what my .rhosts looks like :

#  cat  .rhosts
+

Any ideas ??

TIA
