OK, so this should work, right?
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Hmm, here's my build script.
#!/bin/sh
./configure --with-config=DailyDump \
--prefix=/opt/amanda --with-index-server=amanda --with-user=amanda \
--with-group=operator --with-tape-server=amanda --with-debugging \
--with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 --sbindir=/opt/amanda/sbin \
--libexecdir=/opt/amanda/libexec --libdir=/opt/amanda/lib \
--with-configdir=/opt/amanda/etc \
--with-gnutar-listdir=/opt/amanda/var/gnutar-lists \
--mandir=/opt/amanda/man --without-rundump \
Ar you saying that I need to ake teh tape-server and index-server arguments
FQDN's? I'm wiling to try that, but i'm certain that I've used teh short
name for my build scripts in the past.
BTW, hostname returns "amanda", not the FQDN. I geuss I could change
/etc/hostname to the FQDN if needed.
