I submitted a patch to config/amanda/dumpers.m4 to change
not.a.host.name to nosuchhost.amanda.org in the configure script.  The
Request ID is 2545424.  The patch was developed against the
amanda-2.6.2alpha-20090128 source code.

The patch is completely untested by me because I can't get the autogen
script to run (probably GLIB related) on my workstation and I don't have
time to fool with that at the moment.

I should note that there's also a bug in the autogen script itself:

die() {
    echo x"${@}" | sed s/^x//
    exit 1
}

Maybe that works on Linux where /bin/sh and /bin/bash are identical but
on Solaris you'll need something like

die() {
    echo x"${@}" | sed 's/^x//'
    exit 1
}


Thanks,

-Ben
