That's a **very** good sign. You're well on your way.

There were numerous problems with this a while back. I'm pretty sure
the latest sources (2.4.2p2) have fixed them. If you can't (or don't
want to) upgrade, here's the new code:
runuser=`{ whoami ; } 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
idinfo=`{ id ; } 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
runuser=${LOGNAME:-"??unknown??"}
else
runuser=`echo $idinfo | sed -e 's/).*//' -e 's/^.*(//'`
fi
fi
if [ $runuser != $dumpuser ]; then
echo "amdump: must be run as user $dumpuser, not $runuser"
exit 1
fi
Just find the similar stuff in your amdump script and replace the tests.
Or you could get the latest release and just get the amdump script
from it. I don't think anything else has changed, so it should work
fine with your slightly older system.
