Hi Paul Compiled the tree on another system already, and forgot to clean up the configuration settings? No. Untarred the ball and tried to compile. (amanda 2.4.4p1 is out too!) I know. But all of my machines are using 2.4.3 and I don't trust complete compatibility. No experiments at this

What I do in cases similar to yours is do the configure; make; make install on my master machine then tar up the source directory, sftp it over to the new machine and just do the make install part. Much quicker, and you don't have to have the compiler on every machine. Bruntel, Mitchell L, SOLCM
