>How exactly would I apply this patch? You would cd to the top level of your Amanda sources (the directory with ./configure in it) and run the patch utility (which you'll have to get from ftp.gnu.org and install if your OS doesn't already have it) with the patch file as standard input. You may also need the "-p0" and possibly the "--posix" flags on patch, depending on what version you have (if it asks you for which file to patch, you need the extra args).
Then you'll do: make distclean ./configure ... make su make install >... where can I find that patch? the link on yahoo is broken. Figures :-). I just put it on the Amanda patches page (where it should have been a long time ago): http://www.amanda.org/patches.html John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
