I see this which doesn't look good either: sendsize: debug 1 pid 15490 ruid 19 euid 19: start at Thu Jul 24 00:30:05 2003 sendsize: version 2.4.4 sendsize[15490]: time 0.009: waiting for any estimate child sendsize[15492]: time 0.009: calculating for amname '/', dirname '/', spindle -1sendsize[15492]: time 0.015: getting size via gnutar for / level 0 sendsize[15492]: time 0.016: spawning /usr/local/libexec/runtar in pipeline sendsize[15492]: argument list: /usr/local/bin/tar --create --file /dev/null --directory / --one-file-system --listed-incremental /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/db.shcorp.com__0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals --exclude-from /tmp/amanda/sendsize._.20030724003005.exclude . sendsize[15492]: time 0.028: error [cannot find user backup in passwd file] sendsize[15492]: time 0.059: sendsize[15492]: time 0.060: ..... sendsize[15492]: estimate time for / level 0: 0.044 sendsize[15492]: no size line match in /usr/local/bin/tar output for "/" sendsize[15492]: ..... sendsize[15492]: estimate size for / level 0: -1 KB sendsize[15492]: time 0.061: waiting for /usr/local/bin/tar "/" child sendsize[15492]: time 0.061: after /usr/local/bin/tar "/" wait sendsize[15492]: time 0.061: done with amname '/', dirname '/', spindle -1 sendsize[15490]: time 0.061: child 15492 terminated normally Again I see "cannot find user backup in passwd file". In looking at /etc, I noticed the passwd file is actually a symlink to a passwd file in another directory (For anyone who has SCO, why in GOD'S NAME do they do this symlink BS for everything? It is horrible!). Is this the only problem that's stopping me here, or is there anything else that needs fixing? -- Kurt Yoder Sport & Health network administrator
