Hi,

amcheck fails incorrectly when using amanda 2.4.1p1 and GNUTAR.

Scenario:

Have a directory:
 drwxr-xr--  oracle   dba     4096 Jul 20 04:49 u03

Amanada is not part of the "dba" group. And amcheck says this:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: oracle: [can not access /u03/orabackup (/u03/orabackup):
Permission denied]

But, runtar runs fine... probably because it's setuid-root. Why can't
the selfcheck/amcheck
run as setuid root as well? Can I switch it to setuid root?

Regards,
Edwin
