Amcheck should not be mode 777 and needs to be setuid-root, as do some of the others. I think the best thing for you to do is re-install the Amanda software (you don't need to change your configuration stuff yet, just redo the software). You did do the "make install" as root, didn't you? anurag John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is probably a problem in our release (that amanda.conf has a syntax
error) and I'll see about changing that for the future. You're the
second person this week that has run into this.
The error is there on purpose. The example file is not supposed to be
used unchanged. You have to go through the various configuration
variables, particularly those, and make sure they match your
expectations.
Maybe we should just say that in big blinking :-) letters at the top
of the example file?

RE: Amanda Issue.
The network monitoring tool we use here (Big Brother) solves the problem by appending .DIST to all of the files that need to be edited before use.

Re: Amanda Issue.
This question should go to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I am copying that list for further discussion. From the error you include, an examination of lines 74..76 of your amanda.conf file would indicate that you either have a repeated line, or different values specified for the same parameter. Following up to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a copy of your amanda.conf file would be the proper course of action.
