Version of Suse 7.0 doesn't include the latest Amanda patches, especially those regarding Samba. To add them you must - download amanda-2.4.1p1.tar.gz - unload and untar it - download samba2-20000418.diff - extract all four patches from samba2-20000418.diff - run these patches against the directory amanda-2.4.1p1 you just created So far, so good. Now you must use some switches to replace the Amanda exectables correctly in the non-standard installation of Suse (hell knows why they cannot stick with the standard; they do not seem to know themselves, at least they didn't answer my e-mail question): So in amanda-2.4.1p1 run: $ ./configure --bindir="/usr/bin" --sbindir="/usr/sbin" --libexecdir="/usr/lib/amanda" --mandir="/usr/share/man" --with-configdir="/etc/amanda" --with-smbclient="/usr/bin/smbclient" --with-gnutar="/bin/tar" --with-gnutar-listdir="/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists" --with-config="weekly" --with-tape-device="/dev/nst0" --with-buffered-dump --with-amandahosts --with-user=amanda --with-group=disk Replace "/dev/nst0" with the device you are using and "weekly" with your configuration file; you may want to change the location of configdir, too. Now make sure YAST doesn't reset all suid settings by adding the following lines to /etc/permissions* # Amanda needs runtar & Co. to be suid root. # /usr/lib/amanda/calcsize root.disk 4754 /usr/lib/amanda/dumper root.disk 4754 /usr/lib/amanda/planner root.disk 4754 /usr/lib/amanda/runtar root.disk 4754 /usr/bin/amcheck root.disk 4754 and run $ chkstat -set permissions Cheers Thomas Gutzmann -- Gutzmann EDV Gartenstr. 6 D-23669 Timmendorfer Strand mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phoneto: +49-4503-3523.0 faxto: +49-4503-3523.13 cometo: http://www.gutzmann.com
