I am still troubleshooting the RedHat 7.2 client configuration to work with
my Debian server installation.

If the server (Debian) was configured with the machine name of "localhost",
is this the identifier that clients use when verifying a machine against the
.amandahosts file?

Is there any way to configure the machine name for amanda short of
re-compiling?

Thanks!
