If you do 'make install' as root and pick a proper user/group for the amanda user, this won't be a problem. For tar backups, amanda uses the setuid root 'runtar' script. For dump backups, you need to make sure the amanda user has read permissions on the raw disk devices. On Linux, e.g., I do this by putting the amanda user in the 'disk' group. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
