Not necessarily. You can find out exactly what configure options were used by looking in /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug. Note that the runtar executable needs to be owned by root and setuid (as do several other programs -- this is done properly when you do 'make install' as root). -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
