RE: disk offline - runtar as root
I guess it must be a check thats compiled in? Try recompiling, if I remember (its been a while...) its something like --with-amanda-user=amanda [or whichever user you are using] --with-amanda-group=sys [in your case] Best to check this in the docs though! -Original Message- From: Jonathan Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 June 2002 18:25 To: Spicer, Kevin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: disk offline - runtar as root borzoi 63# pwd /usr/freeware/libexec -rwsr-x---1 root sys21876 May 31 17:36 runtar /etc/group: borzoi 6% cat /etc/group sys::0:root,bin,sys,adm,amanda root::0:root daemon::1:root,daemon bin::2:root,bin,daemon adm::3:root,adm,daemon mail::4:root uucp::5:uucp rje::8: lp:*:9: nuucp::10:nuucp user::20:amanda CMWlogin::994: other::995: demos:*:997: guest:*:998: nobody:*:60001: runtar attempt as user amanda: borzoi 8% whoami amanda borzoi 7% ./runtar runtar: error [must be invoked by root] How do did you get runtar: error [must be invoked by amanda] ? thank you, -Jonathan Murray Spicer, Kevin wrote: > cd /usr/local/libexec > chown root:amanda runtar > chmod 4750 runtar > > assuming runtar is in usr/local/libexec and that the amanda user is in the amanda >group... > > But...

RE: disk offline - runtar as root
cd /usr/local/libexec chown root:amanda runtar chmod 4750 runtar assuming runtar is in usr/local/libexec and that the amanda user is in the amanda group... But... I suspect that you haven't got runtar in the right group (or the amanda user in the right group) as your message suggests runtar is generating the error. When try to invoke runtar on my system (as myself) I get runtar: error [must be invoked by amanda] I don't know whether this check is hardwired in at compile time - in which case you may need to recompile? -Original Message- From: Jonathan Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 June 2002 15:25 To: Jonathan Murray Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: disk offline - runtar as root It appears that the client isn't running runtar as root.
