Here's the contents of my /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts

lin01 amanda
lin01.foobar.com amanda
localhost amanda
localhost.localdomain amanda

Didn't your original post give an error message about amanda@lino02 (I
can't check it in the archives since yahoo stripped most of the error
thinking it was an email address).  Look for the error message that
says

[access as amanda not allowed from amanda@l...] amandahostsauth failed

and make sure that whatever is after the '@' is the first field and
the name before the at (amanda in this case) is the second field in your
amanda hosts.
