However, as the amandabackup user, when I cd /home and then ls -lah I
get a permission denied. This could be the reason the glob directive
is failing, since it cannot scan the contents of that directory to
put together an accurate include list for tar.
Unfortunately, each /home/username is owned by username:username as
the UID:GID. It now looks like I need to figure out a way to get the
amandabackup user access via a groupID.
Try the amgtar application, it should do the glob expansion as root.
With Amanda, plugins are rather new for me but AFIK root-permission is
only needed for reading DLE's and is done by means of calling
setuid-root executables. There are two of them involved in all
Amanda-work: calcsize and dumper, both called by the daemon amandad
which is called by xinetd.
So in this case, root-permission should not be the problem. Unless of
course callcsize and dumper to NOT have a s (from setuid) in front of
them or are not owned by root.
$ cd /usr/lib/amanda
$ ls -l
-rwsr-x--- 1 root amanda 19056 28 jan 2013 calcsize
-rwsr-x--- 1 root amanda 52592 28 jan 2013 dumper
$
All other executables including scripts inherit root permission form
these two.
Surely, amgtar adds some nice features on top of GNUTAR.
