Hi,

I have a set os Debian/Redhat machines running amanda clients with no problem.

I need to run an Solaris 8 client also, got the binary package from:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlist.html
and istalled it. Create the user,services,configuration of inet all working 
fine.

But when I run amcheck it says user has no permition do access the machine, but
I created the .amandahosts and put the correct info there and amanda user can 
read the file.

You say so, but we can't verify.
What is exact error message?

Is there any way to check if amanda (on the client) is reading the correct file?

before and after running amcheck:

$ ls -lut .amandahosts

and the access time should have changed.


The file must be in the home directory of the amanda-user.  The
name of that user is hardcoded in the file.
