Trouble: amanda is set up on a tape server; there are two clients so far.
One is running RH linux 7.3 but has the latest (2.4.4) amanda code built
from 
source...the other is using an older rpm under RH linux 9. The source build
machine
gives estimates for its DLEs, and the other seems to want to wait until
grass to grows 
under its mounting bracket, according to amstatus Daily, part of which
reads:

m254.gc.cuny.edu:/home/m254/yzhu/                        getting estimate
m254.gc.cuny.edu:/home/www                               getting estimate

I'm checking through the documentation...amcheck succeeds. Have I made one
of the usual configuration oversights?
