I installed, configured and am running Amanda on Sco UnixWare (just the client services). I don't know what the differences are between openBSD and Unixware, but here's the installation procedure I used:
- Installed gzip-1.2.4 -> /usr/local/bin - Installed gtar-1.13 -> /usr/local/bin - Installed readline-4.2 -> /usr/local/lib - Installed Amanda, i) configure -with-user=Amanda -with-group=bin -without-server -without-restore -with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/tar - Configured Amanda i) /etc/services ii) /etc/inetd.conf iii) ~amanda/.amandahosts (perms 400) iv) mkdir /etc/amanda v) mkdir /etc/amandates Michael Martinez System Administrator (Contractor) Information Systems and Technology Management CSREES - United States Department of Agriculture (202) 720-6223 -----Original Message----- From: Tom Schutter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 3:42 PM To: Lalo Castro Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OpenBSD and GnuTar Amanda 2.4.2p2 has been in the OpenBSD ports tree since 2.9. You can either use the port (misc/amanda), or look at the port makefile to see the configuration options.
