I'm trying to set Amanda up on a redhat system.  I'm using an account
"operator", which I moved into group "disk", the group listed as having r/w
access to the disk devices.

If I run:
        su operator -c "amcheck config"
I get a slew of "/dev/sda?: permission denied" messages.

If I do:
        su - operator
        $ dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=1k count=1
it works fine.  So, I have permission to read the disk.

What am I doing wrong?
