...Hi I am trying to backup 5 clients currently of which 2 does not want to work for some reason.
The error I get is: ERROR: rian-dlin: [could not access /home/oscar3/SciFi (/home/oscar3/SciFi): Permission denied] ERROR: rukh: [could not access /u/oscar3/dev (/u/oscar3/dev): Permission denied]
The xinetd is configured correctly so that is not a problem.
You say so, but we can't check it.
Post the xinetd config for amanda and the result of "id" executed as user amanda.
When using dump, a frequent error is that primary group has no access to the diskdevice. Additional groups need to be enabled in xinetd by the "groups = yes" directive.
When using gnutar, a frequent error is the lost suid-bits on the runtar binary (by incorrect installation, or by executing it from a NFS-share mounted without suid option).
