Re: Problems using runtar

[Joe Benson]

If you su up to whatever user you are running amanda as and then try to 
run runtar it will kick out an error message and tell you what user it 
is set to run as. You can then reinstall amanda to run as that user with 
the ./configure --with-user  option.

Make sure amanda(or what ever user you are running amanda as) is a

I checked that and unless my tired eyes are missing something the user is
in the backup group. It's certainly behaving as though the backup user isn't.
If I make runtar executable by everyone it works fine. I just need to figure
out who it thinks the user is.
