i don't have an amanda user. i do have a 'backup' user which runs the amanda program according to xinetd: service amanda { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = backup server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad } and as i had in my original mail the user backup is a member of the correct group. also, it can't access 2 out of the 3 disks on the system, so it can access something..just not everything. all permissions are identical thanks nate
