If you install the .deb amanda package, passwd looks like so: root@hawk:~# grep ^backup /etc/passwd backup:x:34:34:backup:/var/backups:/bin/bash root@hawk:~# except that I change the shell to bash (instead of /usr/sbin/nologin) so that it works with ssh. What you are showing looks like the upstream package, not the Debian package. You don't need a user with UID above 1000 for amanda > Sanitized backup in /etc/group: > disk:x:6:backup > tape:x:26:backup > backup:x:34: > amanda:x:1001:backup Similarly, root@hawk:~# grep ^backup /etc/group backup:x:34: root@hawk:~# > > > > I Put the former /usr/local/etc/amanda /Daily contents in > /etc/amanda/daily for bullseye version: Watch the capitalization.

The Debian package uses the pre-existing user "backup". So: root@hawk:~# su - backup backup@hawk:~$ amgetconf DailySet1 dumpuser backup backup@hawk:~$ > dumpuser" parse error: could not open conf file > '/etc/amanda/amanda.conf': Permission denied > > Its also the wrong path, s/b /etc/amanda/Daily/amanda.conf > > > So somethings aglay yet, but what??? You seem to have installed both the upstream amanda package and the Debian package, and managed to conflate the two. That won't work. Back out the upstream package entirely, and continue with the Debian package. Remove the Debian packages. Kill off /home/amanda. Use find to seek and destroy any file or directory with either owner or group amanda. Get rid of any executables from the package. Get rid of the entries in passwd and group. Kill off any executables. Then re-install the Debian amanda packages. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
