I'll take your word for that. Thanks for the reply to clarify. I would assume that would equal default "/usr/local" if the option wasn't even used. Since I build from tarballs here, running the lastest snapshot, I always spec the dir by using the same build script that I've used for years. ---------------------------- #!/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" echo "user amanda, 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-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \ --with-tape-server=coyote \ --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \ --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \ --with-config=Daily \ --with-gnutar=/bin/tar echo "sleeping 5 seconds for reading configures warnings" echo "a make as amanda will continue after..." sleep 5 make --------------------- I recently wrapped that up in a new script that does it all with one invocation, but the ./configure subscript stanza abover hasn't changed since Feb 10th, when a drive failed and I had to reinstall F10 and recover. I guess amrecover didn't preserve the date. :( However that script above hasn't been edited for years. I believe the last time was when I switched to bsdauth. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
