Agreed. I am thus working on having this included in the next release.

Hmm, thanks for mentioning. If I condense down my browser window, the text goes beyond the bounding box but I can still scroll over to see the full line of text. Are you not getting the same?

I'm seeing the following in 2.6.0p2's amanda(8):

           "The format of the .amandahosts file is:

           hostname [ username [ service ]*]

           If username is ommitted, it defaults to the user running amandad,
           i.e. the user listed in the inetd or xinetd configuration file.

           The service is a list of the service the client is authorized to
           execute: amdump, noop, selfcheck, sendsize, sendbackup, amindexd,
           amidxtaped. amdump is a shortcut for "noop selfcheck sendsize
           sendbackup"

No problem.
