So you are pinging a computer with IP-adress 170.85.113.24.


amanda@amanda:~$ nslookup amanda
Server:         1xx.xx.113.8
Address:        1xx.xx.113.8#53

Name:   amanda.meadwestvaco.com
Address: 1xx.xx.109.24

But (apart from the x's) the nameserver says the IP-number ends in 109.24 instead of 113.24.
Or was that a mistake when adding the x's to obfuscate the number?


So, yes there is a computer named amanda, and everything seems OK, to me
from that standpoint.

I'm not convinced yet...


In the debug dir /tmp/amanda, there should be file "selfcheck.datatime.debug".
Does that file contain indeed the error messages?


Unfortuntaely there does not seem to e such a file, which is also starnge.


Indeed.  That's why I asked it.  The client executes these commands, and
it logs the same error in those files. Another argument that host "amanda" is still pointing to some other host too.
When you do "ssh amanda" from your server, do you get to the localhost?
Or do you get to another machine?
