Here is the first potential problem.  Even with all the warnings
plastered all over the FAQ and Docs, folks still insist on useing a

Yes, I knew about the problems with a universal name. I just wanted
to get something up quickly as a test. My machine sits NATted at home
and doesn't have a real FQDN.

But anyway, I changed it:

1. make my wireless AP give my machine a fixed address
2. add an entry to /etc/hosts --

      192.168.0.111 myhostname

Second, did you build amanda as the user amanda, then become root to
do the make install?

I decided to avoid all permission stuff by running everything as root.
Yes, I know the dangers, and I am willing to live with the risk for now.

While it should run ok, 2.4.4p2 is beginning to get a bit long in the
tooth. We're up to 2.4.5beta something or other, and I've not found
anything beta about it.  It just works.

Are you running it on OS X? I had to edit some of the source to get it
to compile. I have 2.4.4p2 running in my lab - RH7.3 server, mix of RH,
Fedora, and HP-UX clients - so I figure I'd stick with something I
knew was already working.

No dice, still. I'll try setting up a separate amanda user first, and
then go on and try the beta code. I'll dig around in the code as last
resort since Google didn't find me any interesting links for a search
on '"estimate timeout" amanda'

These dumps were to tape daily12.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
The next new tape already labelled is: daily01.
