Userid for pre-packaging binaries

[Christopher Hamilton]

How would I go about this since .amandahosts should be in ~ of some
user. User "bin" would not have a ~, I can assume only root has a ~ on a
clean system. I cant assign an arbitrary userid that the host won't have.
I take it there is definite increased security problems if I specify
root as the user. So how do I go about this? Should I use the .rhosts
scheme and let it fall back on .hosts-equiv? Should I change amanda to
look at say /opt/amanda/etc for .amandahosts?

Thanks,
