I configured all host the same using amanda as user name and group name at
compile time. I checked and rechecked. When I run amcheck on 11.00 server
to connect to itself there is a debug entry in /tmp/amanda for amcheck but
nothing for amandad. If I do this on a working machine there is an entry
in /tmp/amanda for amcheck and anandad.
