I assume you have used your path in the statement above? /opt is not the
default amanda directory.

^^^^^^
What is this hyphen doing there?

I just had a look at the sources here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] grep amandapass *.c
findpass.c: if ( (fp = fopen("/etc/amandapass", "r")) ) {
selfcheck.c: testfd = open("/etc/amandapass", R_OK);
selfcheck.c: printf("ERROR [/etc/amandapass is world
readable!]\n");
selfcheck.c: printf("OK [/etc/amandapass is readable, but
not by all]\n");
selfcheck.c: printf("OK [unable to stat /etc/amandapass:
%s]\n",
selfcheck.c: printf("ERROR [unable to open /etc/amandapass:
%s]\n",
It looks as if the path "/etc/amandapass" is hard coded.
