You could roll your own version of the RedHat RPM. In a nutshell: Get the respective source rpm from RedHat (e.g. amanda-2.4.3.src.rpm), unpack it, edit the spec file to your liking (changing user, permissions as you need them), rpm -ba amanda.spec, and there are your new shiny RPMs with your changes. See e.g. http://rpm.redhat.com/RPM-HOWTO/ for details how to deal with RPM.
