Permissions errors....
Hello, all, and thanks for the tapedev advice from earlier. But! Alas, I am, once again, running into a little problem. This one has to do with permissions! I am getting the below errors about /sbin/dump, and /etc/dumpdates. Any, and all help would be great! -James [amanda@warbaby docs]$ id uid=55(amanda) gid=6(disk) groups=6(disk),4(adm),55(backup) [amanda@warbaby docs]$ ls -l /etc/dumpdates -rw-rw-r--1 root disk0 Mar 29 15:53 /etc/dumpdates [amanda@warbaby docs]$ ls -l /sbin/dump -rwxr-x---1 root adm 50140 Feb 14 2001 /sbin/dump [amanda@warbaby docs]$ /usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /storage/amanda/Dumps: 52640200 KB disk space available, that's plenty ERROR: /dev/nst0: not an amanda tape (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test NOTE: info dir /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/curinfo/192.168.10.49/_: does not exist Server check took 5.214 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check ERROR: 192.168.10.49: [can not execute /sbin/dump: Permission denied] ERROR: 192.168.10.49: [can not read/write /etc/dumpdates: Permission denied] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.021 seconds, 2 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) James Kelty Sr. Unix Systems Administrator The Ashland Agency 541.488.0801 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As that user, just try to the dumpdates files. Confirm the group permissions on /sbin as well, though that should be ok. Does the /tmp/amanda debug files on the client lend any further insight into this? -- ~ Doug Silver Network Manager Quantified Systems, Inc ~

What happens when you 'su -l amanda' -- can you then run dump? If not, you need to fix that. I would suggest changing the group of /sbin/dump to be disk... Yeah. I su'd -l to amanda, and I can run dump, and I can read/write to the /etc/dumpdates files as well. It's really strange. Do you have more than one computer on your disklist? What happens if instead of the ip address, you use the FQDN in your disklist? HTH, Ricky

Who owns the amanda programs -- amcheck, amstatus, selfcheck, rundump, dumper, etc...

Are you using inetd or xinetd? Are you certain it is starting amandad as user backup (look at the first line of one of the amandad*debug files on the client)? Do you have groups yes in the xinetd config file (if you don't it only gets started in group disk, which would explain the /sbin/dump problem, but not the dumpdates one). James Kelty John R.
