15 lists the relevant sections and parameters of this file for quick reference.

21 in amanda-client.conf if the default is suitable.
22 Lines starting with # are ignored, as are blank lines. Comments may be placed
23 on a line with a directive by starting the comment with a #. The remainder of
25 Keywords are case insensitive, i.e. auth and Auth are treated the same.
