Compiling amanda with config files on different location
Hello users, currently now I compile amanda so that configuration are stored in /etc/amanda/DailySet1 etc. Is there any possibility to change this location to something like /var/lib/amanda/CONF What is configuration directory --with-configdir used for? Any idea how to solve a this problem. Or is there any patch for this issue? Greetings -- Best regards / S pozdravem Petr Hracek

Can be amanda uninstalled (2.6.p1) and again installed (3.3.3)? What about configuration file or database changes?

PH> What about configuration file or database changes? I don't think that's possible. I installed a new machine and just copied the configuration files over (so no idea about the database files) but even then there were things I had to tweak which weren't related to any hardware changes that were made. For example, none of the clients could be contacted because things default to TCP instead of UDP now. I made a separate dumptype for those hosts. And the new tape changer setup required a few tweaks. Nothing major, but not something you could do as part of an automatic update. - J< Thanks for the answer. I don't think that automatic update will work as well. Config files were changed and I think any advice would be welcome. Is it documented somewhere? Like what should be changed in configuration files. Well, It seems, that I should study configuration 2.6.p1 and 3.3.3 and try to find out what is needed. -- Best regards / S pozdravem Petr Hracek
setuid bits on some binaries
Hi amanda users, I have just a tricky question: I observed that in Fedora we are delivering amanda where some binaries have setuid bits. Are the suid bits really needed for amanda working properly? List of affected binaries is (mode 104750): /usr/lib/amanda/application/amstar /usr/lib/amanda/calcsize /usr/lib/amanda/rundump /usr/lib/amanda/runtar /usr/lib/amanda/dumper /usr/lib/amanda/planner Is it necessary to have setgid bit on the directory /var/log/amanda? -- Best regards / S pozdravem Petr Hracek
