Thanks! I actually just fixed it. There were many weird things about this setup. I found it installed in different locations and different versions of the source files.
Yesterday I thought I completely uninstalled everything and found that the reports said same thing this morning. So what I did then was searched for every damn (excuse my French) Amanda Makefile (locate amanda | grep Makefile | more) and CD'd to there and did a make uninstall. I found that a few actually took the uninstall. Once I did that I edited the "inted" file to disable any amanda stuff, rebooted and found no more messages or anything. Then I was able to install the latest version (amanda-2.4.4.tar) with user=amanda group=backup, --------------- ./configure --without-server --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup make make install --------------- edited & restarted inetd. Still came up with an issue and what appears to have fixed it was checking/setting the permissions for amanda as owner for all relevant amanda directories. Mainly "/tmp/amanda" was owned by someone other than amanda. `amcheck` returns no errors now from the backup server!!! Here's the selfcheck debug file on the client: ----------------- /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck: version 2.4.4 selfcheck: time 0.001: checking disk /dev/da0s1e selfcheck: time 0.001: device /dev/da0s1e selfcheck: time 0.001: disk "/dev/da0s1e" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: amdevice "/dev/da0s1e" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: device "/dev/da0s1e" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: checking disk /dev/da0s1a selfcheck: time 0.001: device /dev/da0s1a selfcheck: time 0.001: disk "/dev/da0s1a" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: amdevice "/dev/da0s1a" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: device "/dev/da0s1a" OK selfcheck: time 0.001: pid 247 finish time Wed May 28 10:15:27 2003 ----------------- Wooo-hooo!!! We should see no errors tomorrow morning!!! I appreciate your help guys, and will definitely look into FreeBSD ports installs Toomas for any future needs. -Regards, Gibran Marquez ***************************** I hear if you play the Windows XP CD backward you'll hear satanic messages.

If the existing version was installed from FreeBSD ports, you can do something like this to uninstall it: pkg_delete amanda-client-2.4.3b2 pkg_delete amanda-server-2.4.3b2 Then update your ports tree (see the FreeBSD handbook for details) And then... cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client make AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup install I know everyone here recommends that you get the latest source tarball and build Amanda yourself from that, but the FreeBSD ports have worked really well for me, FWIW.
