I've just had a bit more of a fiddle, and even with the xinetd conf mods
specified in the Amanda installation docs for machines running the
client-side, 'amcheck' on the tape server hose wasn't getting access to the
disk devices via amandad on the Cobalt server...
The disk devices (/dev/hda1, etc.) are owned by group 'disk' and not 'sys'.
I haven't changed the xinet.conf or amanda software config, but what I've
just tried is adding the 'amanda' user to group 'disk' in /etc/group on the
Cobalt server ('amanda' was already in group 'sys') and that worked. Now
'amcheck' running on the tape server hose (my Sun Ultra 2 system runing
Solaris 9) has been able to check the disk devices on the Cobalt without a
problem. I've left 'amanda' in group 'sys' as well as that's what the main
Amanda config is set up to use.
