Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Amanda installation from a v2.6 to v3.2 via ports.
I had configured Amanda previously to be installed as the user `operator`. The
upgraded version wants to install as the user `amanda`; however this presents
all kinds of problems:
- the `amanda` user has no home directory, one is needed to put the
access file in
- I already have all of the directories set up as owned by operator
- I have a number of clients that are all set up to allow operator to
access them, but not "amanda".
I have tried setting AMANDA_USER and AMANDA_GROUP to be `operator`, but this
then complains that `operator` is not found in `/usr/ports/GIDs` and
`/usr/ports/UIDs`. Since these are part of the base system, I don't want to
mess with them, so I groveled through the .mk files, and determined that I
should be able to provide my own user and group files by setting the GID_FILES
and UID_FILES environment variable.
I tried this. I created the necessary files (greping out the data from
/etc/passwd and /etc/group), put them in the same directory as GIDs and UIDs,
and ran the make command:
GID_FILES="/usr/ports/OP_GROUP" UID_FILES="/usr/ports/OP_USER"
AMANDA_USER="operator" AMANDA_GROUP="operator" make install
This runs along for a while, then dies with the note:
** /usr/ports/OP_GROUP doesn't exist. Exiting.
*** Error code 1
If I do a `less /usr/ports/OP_GROUP` (copying exactly from the error message),
I can see the file I created just fine.
Is there something that I'm missing? How am I supposed to install a port as a
user that already exists? Why doesn't make see that the file exists?
Thanks,
Ricky
