It's really just a matter of making sure that all of the backup tools amanda will be calling on any of the clients (ufsdump, gtar, vxdump, etc.) are present in the same location on the build machine and specifying the configure options (--with-tape-server, --with-tape-device, etc.) to reflect the environment amanda will be running in. Build and install as normal on your build machine, and tar or package up the results. -- Mike Delaney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "...Microsoft follows standards.
