Greeting all;
I have a problem, using amanda, locally
built. /usr/local/libexec/amanda/ambind needs to be setuid, but isn't.
How or what do I do to fix it?
How about chmod(1) as root?
# chmod u+s /usr/local/libexec/amanda/ambind

Sorry I missed the chown(1). :-(
But, building and installing Amanda from source is turning into a
cluster f***.
I assumed you had some compelling reason not to use the official packages:
2021-01-22 21:18:42 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
9.13
Linux tinkywinky 4.9.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.228-1 (2020-07-05)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
2021-01-22 21:22:07 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ apt-cache search amanda | grep amanda
amanda-client - Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Client)
amanda-common - Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Libs)
amanda-server - Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)
But, I have had similar experiences building from source and I now avoid
it like COVID-19. Perhaps you should just use the Debian packages.
