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. >On Mon, 2002-10-14 at 07:16, Gene Heskett wrote: >> On Monday 14 October 2002 10:57, O-Zone wrote: >> >Hi All, >> >i've just solved any problems with conf but i have a new >> > worry...when i'm running amcheck it say to me: >> > >> >ERROR: moon: [access as backup not alloweb from >> > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] open of /home/backup/.amandahost >> > failed >> > >> >Why ? >> >> Because .amandahosts doesn't exist?
