It will be fun if there happens to be a symlink loop. Many amanda users, myself included, compile amanda with GNUTAR set to a placeholder program. I use .../libexec/amgnutar to keep it with many other amanda programs. Then amgnutar can be a copy of, a link to, or a shell script calling the real gnutar. If it is the latter, it is called a "wrapper" and you can add any options you like. -- Jon H.
