It's funny at first to see that RH decided to use the user "operator" for
amanda. Then again, it is fairly logical and I uderstand the desire not to
add yet another default user into the system.
A lot of people mock RH's choices but to me they seem to make quite a lot
of sense. I'm not advocating RH or anything, I believe in freedom of
choice so to say.
Anyway, this brought a question into my mind:
Does the username have to be constant across Amanda clients?
I mean, I think the server amanda user can be different because this can
be set in .amandahosts but can you set the username on per-client basis?
