It was as root. But now that you mention /tmp/amanda, I checked there. amrestore refer to amidxtaped.debug, but the file is named amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug.. no wonder the locate command didn't find it :-) Things made a bit more sense once I found the debug-file: amrestore: could not open /dev/tape: Permission denied amidxtaped: time 0.003: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2 amidxtaped: time 0.003: rewinding tape ... amidxtaped: time 0.003: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/tape: Permission denied amidxtaped: time 0.003: pid 10103 finish time Fri Feb 28 07:19:30 2003 My xinetd-setup specified the wrong group for amidxtaped (bin), when I use 'disk' as owner of the tape-device. Unfortunately there are nobody on-site until monday morning, but we'll run a new test then. Thanks for the help :-) -- Odd Rune
