You've got me scratching what little grey hair I have. First, it
appears the machine is the server, but you re-installed
--without-server? Putting 2 and 2 together, one of them must be -2
cause its not adding up. :)
And you didn't indicate if ~/.amandahosts was in use unless I missed a
clue above. You may have to reconstruct that file as I don't think
it would be in the backup if the perms were set (0400) as
recommended.
Third, having a configuration script that you can copy to each new
tarballs unpacked directory so that each new version is configured
like the last one is a major bit of insurance. I posted mine again a
few days ago, so check the archives for a copy of that for the
server.
Then 2.4.2p2 is getting a bit long in the tooth. 2.4.4-p1-20030716
seems to be very stable, and/or Jean-Louis is on vacation and has not
been around to release new snapshot tarballs. Get it from
Jean-Louis's site at (IIRC) umontreal.edu.ca.
