One of the things that I had to do for the 5.2 client to work is change the permissions and group for the device /dev/root. The problem is that this change will not last past a reboot. I had this same problem on a Red Hat 4.x client, a while back, and found a file that I could modify that would set /dev/root to the way I needed at boot time. But for the life of me I cannot remember the file that I need to change. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215333 shell cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215333 /bin/chmod 640 /dev/root /bin/chown root:disk /dev/root Can anyone help.

Robert [Please remember to reply on-list when asking for help.] I was afraid of that. dump is not recommended or even expected to work on Linux. You need to use the tar dumptype and specify a file path rather than a device. The tar will run suid as root and the permissions problems won't occur. -Mitch -Original Message- From: owner-amanda-us...@amanda.org [mailto:owner-amanda- us...@amanda.org] On Behalf Of Mitch Collinsworth Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 4:54 PM To: McGraw, Robert P Cc: amanda-users@amanda.org Subject: Re: Red Hat amanda question On Tue, 3 Mar 2009, McGraw, Robert P wrote: I have set up an Amanda client on a Red Hat 5.2 server and amcheck recognizes the new client.
