I've been recently moving to doing encrypted backups with ssh authentication.
After some hiccups with random numbers and cryptic messages about "Error:
Password must be at least 20 characters", I am now successfully encrypting my
backups. Now I just need to test the ability to restore files ... that's when I
ran into this problem. When I run amrecover I get this error:
/usr/local/amanda25/sbin/amrecover -C dailytoo
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on amanda.tn.utexas.edu ...
[request failed: amanda.tn.utexas.edu: ssh could not resolve hostname]
and here's the content of the amrecover debug file:

contents of amanda-client.conf:
auth "ssh"
index_server "amanda.tn.utexas.edu"
tape_server "amanda.tn.utexas.edu"
ssh_keys "/root/.ssh/id_rsa_amrecover"
It's not really an issue with resolving the hostname. DNS is setup correctly
and I can ssh from the client to the server and from the server to the backup.
While running amrecover I see no queries being sent to the servers listed in
resolv.conf. Even inserting the host into /etc/hosts doesn't help. I've looked
through the list archives and someone ran into this problem in October 2006 but
have not seen any other mentions of it.
Any thoughts/suggestions/recommendations?
