Not right at the moment but I expect a google search for amanda + 
bsdtcp-security might turn up something.  I had to add a line to my 
configuration driver script which I posted in another thread on this list 
just this evening, and I had to create a couple of files, the exact 
details of which elude me as I've reached that age (72) where short term 
memory isn't so quick.

I do see that the /home/amanda/.amandahosts file has some additions also.  
More aliases mainly.

This line in my gh.cf file which drives the configure stage here was 
added:
        --with-bsdtcp-security \

There might be something in the docs directory of the tarball.

Yes, start with howto-auth.txt in the tarballs doc directory to do it how 
I am, which probably isn't the ultimate model, but it works for me.
