hello ross, remember, on the amanda host (cypress) you have to allow for root to access the box from you're recovering from.
cypress should have something like: contents of /home/amanda/.amandahosts : cypress root you have to allow access to the root user for amrecover to work properly. hope this helps, -edwin -----Original Message----- From: Potts, Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 10:18 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: running Amrecover Version 2.4.1 on Solaris 2.6 I am trying to run Amrecover to recover a mailbox. When I run as Amanda, I am told that the binary must run as root, when I run as root, I get "access as Amanda not allowed from root@<Tapeserver name>" The exact command I use as root is "/opt/amanda/sbin/amrecover -C HISC -s cypress -t cypress -d /dev/rmt/1cbn" What am I missing?
