Hi all:

Okay, so I think I've royally screwed myself, so please don't hesitate to tell me that I did.

My backup server was installed and configured with a different name, because it was built online to replace an existing box. Server 1: web.isymmetrics.com; Server 2 built as webby.isymmetrics.com. Then web.isymmetrics.com went away, and webby became web and took over that IP addy, 10.1.8.9.

Apparently I rolled amanda when it was still webby…though I don't remember that being the case. So now I need to amrecover a file.

At first it said that it couldn't find webby. Well of course not. So I added 'webby' with the 10.1.8.9 ip addy to my /etc/hosts file on web, thinking it would be all happy. Now I get this:

[root@web libexec]# amrecover isymmdaily
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on webby ...
220 web AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready.
500 Access not allowed: [ip address 10.1.8.9 is not in the ip list for web]

WHAT? It is 10.1.8.9…all of the index files live on 10.1.8.9. Is there something cached somewhere with webby's name and IP that I can tinker with?

HELP.
