I've just inherited an amanda setup that has apparently never worked properly. The specific problem I'm trying to sort at the moment is summed up below.

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: NAK finn.internal.domain.com: access as amanda not allowed from amanda AT orinoco.internal.domain DOT com: cannot open /usr/amanda/etc/amanda/.amandahosts: Permission denied

The user "amanda" should be able to read that file.  (and the all the
upper directories too).
Just checked, 'everyone' has access to that file and its parent directories...

Not "everyone" but specifically user "amanda" needs to have access
(yes there is a difference).  ("...access as amanda ....")


Try this as user amanda, not just looking at the permissions.


Thanks guys for all the info, I've just found out though that apparently there's a strange client installed on that machine which apparently doesn't work, so I've switched to backing up via samba and it seems ok. ;-)
