We're using 1.13.17-3 and it works fine here. I've just had another look
at runtar and it is a setuid program.
[amanda@adlcds1 libexec]$ ls -l runtar
-rwsr-x--- 1 root amanda 77587 Oct 5 13:54 runtar
The permissions must look something like that - if they don't it won't
run. When I installed 2.4.2 amdump, this and almost everything that was
setuid wouldn't work and it took me quite a bit of fiddling with
permissions to convince the sticky bit to stick :-P
