I'd suspect you didn't run the ./configure with enough options. Here is my own little almost one liner shell script I use just so I don't forget, or do it with a typu :) =========== #!/bin/sh make clean rm -f config.status config.cache ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=amanda \ --with-owner=amanda --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \ --with-changer-device=/dev/sg2 --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-debugging=/var/log/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=192.168.1.1 --with-amandahosts \ --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda =========== You can adjust the locations speced above to suit your self, and the devices too. If you don't have a tape changer, remove that particular option. As you can see, the user and group amanda belongs to is a compiled in option. I find that having everything owned by amanda:amanda seems to work for me. The important thing is that you have what is to you, a consistent installation from each build so that updates (amanda is a dynamic piece of work, often fixing a couple of things per week if you suck from the cvs regularly. -- Cheers, gene
