Re: Permission denied on runtar - only when called via amcheck

Is the amanda user's primary group amanda? If you are using xinetd, you
might have to set "groups = yes" to make sure secondary groups are used.

Yep, user 'amanda' has a primary (and only) group of 'amanda'.  I did 
both the build and install as root - another user suggested that might 
be the issue.  I'm not so sure, but I will rebuild as user 'amanda' and 
switch to root for the install as soon as I get to the office.
