First install of amanda...  Freebsd 5.2.1, Amanda 2.4.4p2.
I used bin and operator when compiling.  I only will
back up the server that amanda is running on.  I have
configured the client per the instructions.  I restarted
inetd.

1. Where does .amandahosts go for the bin user?  /bin?

2. Is bin ok to leave nologin?

using... su -m bin -c "./amcheck -m DailySet1"

I get an error "ERROR: r4p17: [access as bin not allowed
from bin AT r4p17.gmihome DOT com] open of //.amandahosts failed.

Any tips?
