Sarah,
I was waiting for the right moment to post this on the list for a
while now... It is a perl cgi which allows to view what the amanda
server is doing and to start dumps and verifys and to label tapes. It
can use different configurations and by default prints the amverify
output or, if amanda seems to be running, the amstatus output.
It is in no way secure. It must be installed setuid root so it can run
the amanda programs in the way they want, thus, it is a major security
risk because it of cource does contain bugs. We run it on a server
which is not accessible from the outside, and the httpd allows acces
from certain workstations only. I hope.
The beginning has a small configuration section:
$amconfdir = "/etc/amanda";
$amdatadir = "/var/lib/amanda";
$amconfig = "DailySet1";
$amrunuser = "operator";
$amrungroup = "disk";
It should all be obvious I think. $amrunuser and $amrungroup must be
set carefully... we all know how picky amanda is when it comes to
userids.
The script has been used on two RedHat machines only so far, using the
RPM amanda from Redhat. In different environments, there will probably
be the need for tweaking at some spots.
Greetings,
Moritz
