Hello all,

Have built a new tar-ball for a new "secure" system and wanted
to introduce a non-root non-bin account for amanda to run under.

Build (gcc on Solaris 2.8) seems to have gone well and the make
install ran cleanly.

Amended /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, placed both .rhosts
and .amandahosts under the login directory for the new account
but I'm unable to get amcheck to run.

Will provide full details below, just wanted to lay the problem
out first.

Any suggestions would be apreciated, I'm sure its minor - but
apparently not insignificant.

                                                thanks,

                                                Brian

Note - .rhosts is identical to .amandahosts and that the
amanda server is running amanda as "bin", hopefully I'll
get that fixed when I update the server next.

Yes - I am only configuring this new box as a "client", the
server is on a Solaris 2.7 system.

Running amcheck on the server I find the following messages
on the client. No /tmp/amanda directory is created nor any
amanda log files.

# tail /var/adm/messages
Oct  5 11:06:44 c110 inetd[24784]: [ID 858011 daemon.warning] 
/usr/local/libexec/amandad: Hangup

I know I'm missing something fairly minor - I just have no idea
what it is.

                                                thanks,

                                                Brian
