I've tried submiting it with and withou tacahments, and resubscribing to
the list with no luck. But a shor message to the listserver cam abck.

Strange. In any acse, in addition to the atachments, i ahve now put the
email up on http://becahcave.net/amanda

Hopefully thos interested in the issue with OpenBSD clinets will atke a
minute to read it.

I don't know if this will be helpful or just poking. But, . . .

I've noticed a *lot* of typos in your emails (see the URL above -- beachcave works, becahcave gives address not found). While I can usually work my way around misspellings (16 in the above message!), OpenBSD, Amanda and other software will barf on them. So, I hope you take the time to be much more meticulous when you are talking to your Amanda server and clients. No offense intended. I just know how very difficult it can be sometimes to track down a problem that ends up being a simple typo somewhere. It slows down my work sometimes double checking and documenting things, but I think it would slow down my work even more if I didn't.
