I looked at a couple of the .dbg files in /tmp/amanda-dbg and little clue there at first read.
I have been experimenting with a 64 bit Mint 8 install that uses the same /home/partition, and had, because the fedora low user is 500 and the debian is 1000, have been doing a 'chown -R amanda:disk /home/amanda/' when I reboot, and that may have screwed the pooch. So I changed my newmanda script to blow away the src tree and unpack it from scratch just now, and it is installing, or is done, the 2009/12/17 snapshot. Done, so next is a killall amandad etc , there are 30-35 amanda processes running, so kill them individually. Ok, 'make install' 2009/12/17 again. amcleanup Daily run, no mailed or printer report generated. New session of backup.sh started. Now we wait. Later, thanks Dustin. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
