Hi, Solaris 9 Server with amanda 2.4.4
Client is a zone on a solaris 10 system running amanda 2.5.2p1.

> amcheck -c info

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: NAK squidzone1: user amanda from 199.184.30.36 is not allowed to execute 
the service noop: Please add "amdump" to the line in 
/export/home/amanda/.amandahosts on the client
WARNING: panther: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 16 hosts checked in 30.356 seconds, 2 problems found

I didn't see a clear answer to this on the net/lists so I thought
I'd throw my 2cents in.

Issue was not (In my case) file ownerships nor protections on the
client, but rather seems to be that the zone is not able to resolve
the IP of the amanda server.

I've defered that to the admin for this particular box, in the
mean time I've added the IP address to .amandahosts on the client
and have gotten clean output from amcheck.

Nothing earth shaking here, just a matter of top-down problem
solving and making sure that all of the assumptions, like DNS
working correctly, where actually true.
