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.
