I've upgraded the amanda24 port to patch level 1. If you are running
2.3.0, beware that 2.4 is not compatible so you will need to upgrade your
clients at the same time you upgrade your server.
For those of you running 2.4.0, a couple of changes to the port suggested
by Evan Champion <evanc@synapse.net> (see below.) You will want to visit
your operator account and create a .amandahosts file (hopefully you aren't
still using plain .rhosts security and just had a .rhosts file because
amanda needed it.)
Also, you will want to make sure that you have each host's fully qualified
domain name in the disklist file.
It is still a port bogon that there is no operator account by default in
FreeBSD - just a default line in /etc/passwd. The port should at least
tell you this, better yet - create the account for you.

Modified files:
misc/amanda24 Makefile
Log:
Upgrade to amanda-2.4.0p1.
Include --with-fqdn argument to configure which writes a host's fqdn onto
tape labels; necessary if you have host.foo.com and host.bar.foo.com
and wind up writing incrementals to the holding disk (your amflush will
fail.) Users should make sure that their disklist files reference hosts
by fqdn as well. Submitted by: Evan Champion <evanc@synapse.net>
Include --with-amandahosts arguument to configure, which replaces .rhosts
file in ~operator for amanda host security. Hopefully people are all
using .shosts based authentication and so can just rename .rhosts to
.amandahosts. NOTE: Users will have to address this issue after upgrading
the port before the next backup will run!
