I ran amcheck -c and got following error msg. the client 'pete' and server
'spike' are same machine.

----------------------------------------------------
spike:amanda:/myapp/am/sbin$./amcheck -c fst

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: pete: [can not read/write /etc/amandates: No such file or directory]
Client check: 1 host checked in 1.184 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p1)
spike:amanda:/myapp/am/sbin$
-----------------------------------------------------

I can't find where the file 'amandates' is.
