The only reason that Amanda references its home directory is for .amandahosts, which is modeled on .rhosts (and you've all disabled rhosts and telnet, right?), and for encryption keys (where gpg tends to use $HOME unless instructed otherwise). I consider both an unfortunate legacy. So I'm loathe to tread on territory that should belong to the system itself. That directory should be created and populated by useradd or whatever utility you use to create the necessary user account. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
