It sure would, but thats not how we are instructed to build amanda.
Amanda should be configured and built as user amanda, and amanda 
(the user) should be made a member of the group backup or disk.

Amanda should be installed from user root, but thats the only time 
non-amanda permissions are required.  Running as user amanda, she 
will do her own suid root when she needs to.

Also .amandahosts should only have 0400 for perms.  And I'd tell you 
who should own the file but for some reason I cannot launch a shell 
with a mouse click, which is most intrigueing.
