OK, I've re-added

I'm sorry to tell you the bad news that this is again WRONG.




on orinoco (the server) it runs as 'amanda', on the client it runs as 'amandabackup'.

The error message that you get is:


... access as localuser not allowed from remoteuser@amandaserver : ...


The LOCALUSER = amandabackup
the REMOTEUSER on the AMANDASERVER is amanda@orinoco

The LOCALUSER must be able to read the file .amandahosts
and in that file it finds the name of the AMANDASERVER, and the user
on that server that is allowed to give orders here:


    amandaserver.example.com   amandauserontheserver

In your case:

   orinoco   amanda.

btw: your problem with permission of /tmp/amanda is described as
one of the cause here:

(i.e. exactly the error message you got)
