Hello John & Jason,
Thanks for your help.
The .amandohosts file is owned by user root, is located in /root
directory and readably by all users. this directory is also the
homedirectory for the user operator.
The /tmp/amanda directory and all files in it are owned by user operator
and only this user has access to it (rwx------). in the amandad.debug
file I faund following:
Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 001-083D0508 SEQ 997275472
SECURITY USER backup
SERVICE selfcheck

DUMP ad0s1f 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;compress-fast;
