hi,

I am a little confused regarding adding security to
Amanda.
In the past I posted a question regarding adding
security to Amanda - 
We have a Solaris 9 machine which is Amanda server and
a remote Solaris 9 machine which is Amanda client.
We need the data that is transferring from the client
to the server be secure.
People have kindly answered my question but I am still
confused.
Some have suggested to use sftp or ssh - bring those
files to the server and then backing it up locally.
However, by implementing this technique I am over
loading the network - because I have to ssh or sftp
all files daily instead of letting Amanda get only the
changes (level 0,1 etc). But is there a way to
implement ssh/sftp with Amanda? 


Anyway I am trying to implement Kerberos and I have a
few questions about it.
I am trying to follow the documentation in Amanda for
kerberos - so far I downloaded the file
amanda-krb4-2.4.0p1.tar.gz - I unzipped it and tared
it (tar xvf). Yet I don't know what the next step
should be - configure+make??? Additionally the
KERBEROS doc for Amanda under the INSTALLATION section
says:
 "2. INSTALLATION
   The kerberized Amanda service uses a different port
on the client hosts.
   The /etc/services line is:

   kamanda      10081/udp "

Then what should be the host on the server site?
Finally how can I test that Kerberos encryption works
with Amanda?

Please note that our Amanda server and client are
Solaris 9 boxes but in the future we might implement
it on Win boxes (is it feasible to implement Kerberos
on Win box?)

Thanks much,
gil
