Paul, my /etc/amandates is owned by amanda:disk with -rw-r--r-- perms.

I use a script to configure and make amanda, as follows: -----------------gh.cf------------ #!/bin/sh # since I'm always forgetting to su amanda... if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then echo echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!" echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda," echo "but must be installed by user root." echo exit 1 fi make clean rm -f config.status config.cache ./configure --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-owner=amanda \ --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \ --with-changer-device=/dev/sg1 \ --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=coyote.coyote.den \ --with-amandahosts \ --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda make --------------eof-------------- Remove any changer references if you don't have one, and change the tape-server to the FQDN of your server box. Other changes if needed should be obvious. I haven't touched this script in about a year, but it gets copied into each newly unpacked and chown'd snapshots top level dir and exec'd, which builds each new snapshot Jean-Louis puts up as they come out. When its done, I become root and do the make install. So I'm running the 2.4.5b2-200440423 version right now. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
