Well, there are a couple of different authentication schemes supported by amanda. these are set up at compile time... here are the configure options: --with-bsd-security use BSD rsh/rlogin style security --with-amandahosts use .amandahosts instead of .rhosts --with-krb4-security=DIR Location of Kerberos software [/usr/kerberos /usr/cygnus /usr /opt/kerberos] if you're using bsd security then you need to have .rhosts set up appropriately for user amanda (and need to have rsh enabled in inetd.conf, and tcp_wrappers if you use those)... and so on. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
