I recently upgraded amanda on my RH6.2 SPARC box from 2.4.1p1 to 2.4.2p2 to 2.4.2p2-tapeio. I had a few problems with the first upgrade. All seemed to be operator error. The second upgrade,2.4.2p2-tapeio, has introduced a different set of problems.
I created a shell script with all of the configure options, so I know that the same options were used to configure and install both upgrades. My problem is that one of my backup jobs now gives me errors. The errors are for the devices on the tapeserver that I want backed up. Again, this worked before the last upgrade and I did make sure that I had the user and group set correctly for amanda and the devices. I get the following errors when I run amcheck: ERROR: server: [could not access /dev/sda2 (sda2): Permission denied] ERROR: server: [can not execute /usr/libexec/runtar: Permission denied] The one thing I did change was rather than using comp-root, I switch to comp-root-tar. I had not been using the tar option before. I did check runtar and it has the following permissions: -rwsr-x--- 1 root root 90664 Jan 31 10:11 /usr/libexec/runtar My amanda user is operator and her group is root. If I switch to comp-root I still get the permission denied error for the 3 devices on the tapserver. Again, I think I have the permissions set correctly on these devices as well. brw-rw---- 1 root root 8, 2 May 5 1998 /dev/sda2 When I did make install I was logged in as root, and when I did amcheck I was logged in as operator. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my problem? Thanks
