CentOS 5.1 and amanda ssh option

Hi,

I really don't have time. There is a lot interesting things I'm doing but no time for describing.

Last time I found the problem with auth "ssh" option in CentOS 5.1 amanda package. This option is included in amanda 2.5.0p2-4 version (which CentOS 5.1 contains) but can't use additional and required options. Those are ie.: ssh_keys "/var/lib/amanda/.ssh/id_rsa" and others. Additionally I found that this amanda version (I mean CentOS) is, a little bit different then provided by amanda team. Anyway. I decided to use rpm provided by zmanda for rhel4 (server client). There is no problem with this package on CentOS 5.1 so you can use it. All the options with ssh, key authentication, and others - just works. Some can ask why this version if there is new version with package for rhel5. Answer: I usually do not install newest versions.

I won't describe installation process but I'll post couple of useful links:
