Re: Amcheck Fails on Amanda 3.5

The error message is misleading. The problem is that you run it as root! Amanda is not expected to be run as root, do you always run amanda as root? Jean-Louis On 29/09/17 11:31 AM, Steven Backus wrote: > Trying amanda 3.5 on Centos 7.4.1708. Did: > > ./configure --with-user=root
