Jon, I'm confused, apparently not parsing this correctly.
I believe you are saying that using strings you confirmed that the message is generated from ufsdump, but that you would not expect ufsdump to create /tmp/amanda, you would have expected that from an amanda binary. Is this a request to ufsdump by an amanda program to create the /tmp/amanda directory, so an interaction between the two ? While I only see this message in amdump output from amanda 2.4.4 it just occured to me that I need a better look to confirm the issue as a client or a server located DLE and that I need to check those systems' OS versions. The short question though is "Is there a ready fix" ? > I said the message came from ufsdump based on checking with strings > to see in which binary it was located. It is in ufsdump, not one > of the amanda programs. I would not expect ufsdump to try to create > /tmp/amanda. That would be done by one of the amanda binaries. thank you, Brian
