I am building 2.6.1 on OpenBSD 4,5. confiugre was fgailing to detect g`GNU tar properly. so I added the following to my configure arguments:
--with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/gtar This is GNU tar: # /usr/local/bin/gtar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.22 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

What do I need to do to coerce Amanda into using this? I need this, as I need to using exclude files on these machines, and I am failry certain that requires tar, right? These machines do have a native dump. of course. -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
