Isn't the yahoo group just a reflection of this list? Many UNIX administrators would replacing the OS installed versions of "anything" improper. If there are differences in the vendor's tar and the gnutar you replace it with, it may affect other things of which you are unaware. configure has a specific option to tell it where the "gnutar" you want amanda to use is located. "--with-gnutar=....." It doesn't have to be in your PATH at all because it will be hardcoded during compile. -- Jon H.
