For tar, amanda uses the setuid root 'runtar' wrapper. yea... doing the tar thing here mostly... so there is a setuid for tar and all will be backed up... great. > >-- >Joshua Baker-LePain >Department of Biomedical Engineering >Duke University Thanks Joshua for the extra set of eyes. got to go back and play in the street some more.
