Here's a permissions problem that I don't understand, reported by
amcheck. Client and server are the same host (raleigh):

raleigh 1% amcheck config_orig

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)


Amanda is installed as user amanda in group sys. Far as I can tell, the
file systems should be ok for amanda to read. For example:

raleigh 2% ls -l / | grep whit
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     sys             24 May 15 08:02 whitmore


I've tried to cure the problem by entering amanda as a user for both sys
and root in /etc/group, but no effect. Recommendations gratefully
accepted. Thanks.
