Hi,
I'm trying to setup an Amanda 2.4.2p2 client with gtar 1.12 on a Solaris
2.6 Sparcstation and am getting a permission error for the tar list
file. The server is Solaris
2.8, also gtar 1.12. The server seems to back itself up without
problem. Also, the client (Medusa) and server (Stheno) are both part of a
NIS+ cluster.
The Amanda email report gives the following error
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
medusa /var/tmp/pam lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/bin/gtar returned 2]
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:
/-- medusa /var/tmp/pam lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/bin/gtar returned 2]

\--------
Here's the tar list file that is created:
-rw------- 1 pam users 10 Jun 13 11:29
medusa_var_tmp_pam_0.new
User pam is the Amanda backup user. It's the same user that runs Amanda on
the server. When backup runs of the server, Stheno, the tar list files
have the
same permission, eg, -rw------- 1 pam users 157663 Jun 13
10:13 stheno_export_home__2
I don't get why tar on Medusa has a problem with permission, if tar on
Stheno doesn't?
The sendbackup.20010612092931.debug file on Medusa gives the following
error:

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pam
