Yes, Vicki. I haven't had to deal with that here, but perhaps someone else has rigged an ssh script to wrap amanda up in? You might consider shooting the co-worker :) Better yet, offload the problem onto the one that caused it by telling him there will be no backups of that server until he cuts a hole in things so amanda can continue to do her job. Point out how valuable the info on the server is & all that rot... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
