I'm trying to get the amanda client working on this Irix machine, using
the GNUTAR dump method.
The client is now running OK (after many and various problems which I
won't go into here) however amcheck -c reports that GNUTAR isn't available
on the client (and therefore won't dump anything)
Here's what's in /tmp/amanda/amandad.<blah>.debug:
|amandad: debug 1 pid 914 ruid 10002 euid 10002 start time Mon Jan 21 15:08:06 2002

... which seems to indicate that runtar would be looking for
/usr/local/bin/tar. So, it's there, and the path to it is free:
|orion[/tmp/amanda] 108v#: ls -ald /usr /usr/local /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin/tar
|drwxr-xr-x 48 root sys 4096 Jan 21 14:44 /usr
|lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 34 Nov 7 16:25 /usr/local ->
|/Mount/exsci1/sci1/local/local_sgi
|drwxrwxr-x 6 root local 2802 Jan 21 15:03 /usr/local/bin
|-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 445948 Jan 21 14:17 /usr/local/bin/tar
I thought perhaps that because /Mount/exsci1 is an NFS share that there might
be permission problems when running as the backup user, but no, it executes:
|orion[/tmp/amanda] 110v#: su - backup
|orion% /usr/local/bin/tar --version
|tar (GNU tar) 1.13

... so why would I get this on the server:

|Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
|--------------------------------
|ERROR: orion.earth.monash.edu.au: [GNUTAR program not available]
|Client check: 3 hosts checked in 0.445 seconds, 1 problem found
|
|(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2)
It's got me totally stumped ... the _only_ thing I can think of was
that I didn't have tar in /usr/local/bin when I compiled the client on
this machine ... and I can't find any reference to tar in within
the runtar binary using strings, either ...
Can someone help me out here?
