Thanks to everyone for sending me info about the file permissions.  This is a great community!

Now, I'm having problems with running amcheck on my client machines.  I've followed the directions for the 15-minute Amanda install.

If I run amcheck I get

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /samba/bigdrive/dumps/laptops: 41108 MB disk space available, using 1000 MB as requested
slot 1:Found an empty tape, will label it `laptops-0001'.
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Found a brand new tape, will label it laptops-0001.
NOTE: conf info dir /samba/bigdrive/dumps/info/laptops does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run.
NOTE: index dir /samba/bigdrive/dumps/index/laptops does not exist

Server check took 1.674 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: 192.168.1.102: selfcheck request failed: tcpm_recv_token: invalid size: amandad:
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.020 seconds.  1 problem found.

(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.1b1)

Here's my configuration files on the server

/var/lib/.amandahosts

192.168.1.102 root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost amandabackup amdump
localhost root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost.localdomain   root amindexd amidxtaped
localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump

/etc/xinetd.d//amandaserver

# default: on
#
# description: Amanda services for Amanda server and client.
#             

service amanda
{
        disable         = no
flags           = IPv4
        flags = IPv6
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amandabackup
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
        server_args     = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}

And on my client machine

/var/lib/amandahosts

ubuntu amandabackup amdump
localhost amandabackup amdump
localhost.localdomain amandabackup amdump

/etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient

#
# description: Amanda services for Amanda client.
#
service amanda
{
        disable         = no
flags = IPv4
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amandabackup
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
        server_args     = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}

What else should I be looking at?

Thanks!
