That's root user
Do you have an amandabackup user on the client
Check inet log

1242724556.339271: amandad: security_getdriver(name=bsdtcp) returns ff31c788 1242724556.339369: amandad: critical (fatal): Amanda must be run as user 'amandabackup' when using 'bsdtcp' authentication

I can't even see what user it's TRYING to use, only that it should be running as amandabackup. All relevant config files tell me that it IS. Any way to get more descriptive logs? I tried debug_amandad on the amanda-client.conf, but that had no effect

please help
