I started reading the "Setup the Backup Client Hosts" section of the
Amanda docs, which immediately assumes that I have a folder
"~dumpuser/".  It's telling me to create an ".amandahosts" file within
that directory.  Portage did not create any such user.  Is this a user
that I need in addition to the "amanda" user?  The client and server
are the same machine in my case (for now).


Just trying to clean up the docs, I can't find the section you mention.

Have a look at http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start .
I'm interested in all the fuzzy things left unclear in that doc.
