Hi,

The documentation from zmanda follow decisions and options for their
packages that is diferent for what is done by the distributions.  The
first option is to choose the packages from zmanda or what is
distributed with the Linux distributions.

If you are using Debian or Ubuntu and want to use their packages maybe
is easier to start over.  Undo your changes and start again with:

apt-get install amanda-server amanda-client

Read the file:

/usr/share/doc/amanda-server/README.Debian.gz

And follow the examples in
/usr/share/doc/amanda-server/examples/quick/

Please post any doubts you have with the documentation inside the
packages so I can improve on next upload to Debian.

Take notice that I prefer authentication by SSH and that is what I
promote.


Kind regards
Jose M Calhariz
