Any more suggestions? - thanks

What about leaving the Amanda set up alone for while, and
just trying just this:

  # su amandabackup -c "cat /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"

Does that work, or do you get "Permission denied"?

Hey Paul, sorry I didn't think to include the result of doing this earlier:

[root@murray amanda]# su amandabackup -c "cat /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"
orinoco.deanst.rroom.net        amanda
orinoco         amanda
[root@murray amanda]#


thanks
