Ok, I understand that I'll have to modify a few things to advance to these newer versions. I have the wiki page bookmarked but have not done other than the bsd-auth stuff. Can you note any differences between the wiki and now for 2.5.1-20060919? Here is my current server config script, are any changes needed here? ======== #!/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-gnu-ld \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-tapedev="FILE:/amandatapes" \ --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=coyote \ --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \ --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \ --with-config=Daily \ --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/tar make ======= And here is the client equivalent script. Are any changes needed here? ========= #!/bin/sh # since I'm always forgetting to su amanda... if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then echo echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!
