Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: server.my.co.uk: [access as amanda not allowed from amanda AT fw DOT my.
co.uk] open of /home/amanda/.amandahosts failed
Client check: 4 hosts checked in 10.078 seconds, 1 problem found

I created a dir and file /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts file I have of
course not got a /home/amanda/.amandahosts on my fw.my.co.uk server So
should I created a user and the necessary dir and files.

What is the home directory of the user Amanda?  i.e. what is
the sixth field in /etc/passwd of that client (not the server!)?

So on that client, add the next line to the .amandahosts file:

amanda  fw.my.co.uk

Thus added to .amandahosts file:
I haven't create a user amanda or group disk Yet But am I on the right
track with this new amacheck error.

localhost amanda
localhost root
server.my.co.uk amanda
server.my.co.uk root
tape-server.myl.co.uk amanda
tape-server.my.co.uk root
