Jeff, Have you set client_username field in the dumptype? Are you using ssh or rsh as authentication?
Can you provide the output of "amadmin xx version"? Thanks, Paddy On 8/3/06, Jeff Portwine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

As what user? When I checked the debug file, it does show the client_logon=root but I don't know why. I tried replacing amandad with the script you suggested and this was the output: Thu Aug 3 06:55:11 EDT 2006 uid=507(backup) gid=509(backup) groups=509(backup) PID TTY TIME CMD 13066 ? 00:00:00 amandad Thu Aug 3 06:55:21 EDT 2006 uid=507(backup) gid=509(backup) groups=509(backup) PID TTY TIME CMD 13070 ? 00:00:00 amandad Thu Aug 3 06:55:32 EDT 2006 uid=507(backup) gid=509(backup) groups=509(backup) PID TTY TIME CMD 13075 ? 00:00:00 amandad So at that point it does appear to be running amandad as "backup"... but when it runs the real amandad the debug file shows CLIENT_LOGIN="root" and I don't know why. Thanks, Jeff
