I'm looking for a clue for troubleshooting a new 
amandaclient install.     My main problem is 
that this hasn't been worked on in about 5 years...


I have a dozen clients, including two ubuntu GNU/Linux,
and we are trying to add one more.
This one happens to be Ubuntu/Linux on VMWARE.
I can ssh into the new server without password.

Is there a way to confirm that amanda is running as the correct
user on the new client?    Also, I was unable to locate the
dumptypes file.      I suspect that's where "noop" is referenced.

The error is below - and I found the same text in the amandad log
on the client.

Thanks
Seth
