Using Amanda client software, via Debian package.
After years of recomending to people that they build amanda from source, instead of
trying to us the Debian packages, I find myslef trying to do just that.
So, how is this suposed to work? I'm failing like this:

So I looked, and see that user backup, whch is aparantly what teh Amanda package is built with
as it's user has a home of /var/backups. Looking there .amandahosts is a link to
/etc/amandahosts, whch is owned by user backup. So I put the following in there:
localhost backup
+stan
+root
kodiak
kodiak.fas.com
kodiak root
kodiak.fas.com root
kodiak backup
kodiak.fas.com backup
kodiak is the tapehost.
But it still fails in exactly the same way. Before I dlete the packge, and build it form
source, I thought I would ask how it's supposed to work.
