Also one should never have a 'localhost' in this list file as its a security 
hole. All machine are localhost, and you sure don't want somebody to recover 
your stolen tape to their machine, or for you to get confused as to which 
tape goes with which machine. That however is amanda's forte, amanda can back 
up the whole local network so you only need one 'server'.
