Hi Again I have nuked the default binary (rpm within SuSE Yast2 and installaed and run source configuration amanda 2.4.4.
Thus I have configured amanda.conf ,disklist and tapelist which is currently empty as I had to create it and then run the following command as amanda. myserver:/local/sw/amanda # su amanda -c "/local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amlabel DailySet1 DailySet101" rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/nst0: Permission denied I have a DDS-4 tape which I am trying to label. myserver:/local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin # ls -al total 677 drwxr-xr-x 2 amanda disk 616 Apr 18 14:25 . drwxr-xr-x 7 amanda disk 168 Apr 18 13:30 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda disk 60477 Apr 18 14:25 amadmin -rwxr-x--- 1 amanda disk 86322 Apr 18 14:25 amcheck -rwxr-xr-x 1 amanda disk 1820 Apr 18 14:25 amcheckdb I have also tried having a look at debugging dir /tmp/amanda-dbg but the error msg when I try to less as Root or amanda is no file or directory.
