Whoops, you installed amanda, not compiled and installed from source. Is this a package that came with the Linux distribution? Are you following Mandrake's instructions/documentation or those that come with amanda source? Very important, if installing a precompiled version, does that version expect a user named "operador" to be the amanda user? The user name gets hard coded into the amanda programs and with a precompiled version you don't get to choose. > after, I configure my amanda.conf and disklist > > after I give permitions to the user operador to give full access to local filesystem >/etc and to my filesystem /usr/local/etc/amanda I don't think that suggestion was ever made, and it should not be done. > after I create my .amandahosts What is in it?

If you did compile yourself, what were your configure options? Assuming you ran configure more than one time (for any reason), did you run "make distclean" before the last configure and compile? Configure sometimes caches things that need to be cleared. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
