DESCRIPTION
     After Amanda rpms are successfully  installed,  amserverconfig  will  setup
     initial  Amanda  configuration  files.  It will create /var/lib/amanda/gun-
     tar-lists directory if one does not exist.  amserverconfig does not  change
     existing  Amanda configurations.  amserverconfig must be run by user amand-
     abackup.

OPTIONS
     Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is  not  ambiguous.
     Option   argument	can  either  separated	by  '='  or  a	space.	Example:
     --templ=harddisk --tapedev /dev/nst0

     amserverconfig builds a new "config" Amanda  configuration.  Customize  the
     configuration with the options below.

     --template template
	 build	Amanda	configuration  with  pre-configured template files. Cur-
	 rently, harddisk, single-tape, tape-changer and S3 are the valid inputs
	 for  this  option.  Pre-configured  template  files  can  be  found  in
	 /var/lib/amanda/template.d.  This option may be combined with other op-
	 tions.

	 If tape-changer is chosen for this option,  program  mtx  is  required.
	 amserverconfig   will	search	for  mtx  in  the  following  directory:
	 "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin",  "/usr/local/bin",  "/usr/bin",  "/bin"
	 and amandabackup's PATH.

	 If  harddisk  is chosen and --no-vtape is not specified, amserverconfig
	 will create and label virtual	tape  file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$con-
	 fig.

     --no-vtape
	 Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case.

     --tapedev tapedev
	 The	path	name	of    non-rewinding    tape    device.	 default

	 fig-[0-9][0-9]*$]

	 If this option is  used  with	--template=harddisk,  only  alphanumeric
	 string is supported.

     --tapetype tapetype
	 The  type  of	tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger. default
