The working machine has a /tmp/amanda directory, the non-working one does not. Both /tmp's are owned by root, and looks to be 0777 perms, the whole string shows drwxrwxrwt on both machines, This is not a network showstopper, I am ssh -Y into both machines, checking diffs. ATM I haven't found and fixed any diffs between those two machines that did make a diff. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
