Amanda users,
We do a couple of weird things here, restricting ports as a
matter of course because sometimes we install on firewalls and
I don't want to rebuild special for them. Besides, its not a
bad idea in general to be mildly security minded.
In this case we have clients where the /usr/local is NFS mounted
and altering the ./configure --prefix option was the simpler
solution, also avoiding NFS root write to permitting suid across NFS.
We had a not so working 2.6.1p1 but as long as we where rebuilding
we went with 2.6.1p2. The not working was related to NFS (meantioned above).
The server for this system is also our first application of
VTapes within amanda.
You will also see a couple of very simple SMF related commands
(that took me a while to work out).
I offer the following as 'works for me' take from it what you will.
========================
# mkdir /tmp/am-inst
Get the new amanda tar ball, unpack it into the /tmp/am-inst directory.
# cd amanda-2.6.1p2
[curie]: /tmp/am-inst/amanda-2.6.1p2 > printenv PATH
/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
[curie]: /tmp/am-inst/amanda-2.6.1p2 > printenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/include:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib
[curie]: /tmp/am-inst/amanda-2.6.1p2 > ./configure
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib -L/opt/sfw/lib -L/usr/local/lib/amanda
-R/usr/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib -R/usr/local/lib/amanda"

# make
build a tarball we can drag to the target system.
[curie]: /tmp/am-inst/amanda-2.6.1p2 > tar -cf ~/amanda261p2x86.tar .
[bioqq6]: /tmp/am-inst/amanda-2.6.1p2 > tar -xf ~/amanda261p2x86.tar
As root, # make install
Update /etc/inetd.conf
#amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /opt/amanda/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad
Cleanup the SMF manifest and the registry.
# svcadm disable amanda/udp
# rm /var/svc/manifest/network/amanda-udp.xml
# svccfg
svc:> list network/aman*
network/amanda/udp
svc:> delete network/amanda/udp
svc:> exit
Create the new manifest and add to SMF.
# inetconv
amanda -> /var/svc/manifest/network/amanda-udp.xml
Importing amanda-udp.xml ...Done
Test from the server, note, we haven't updated the server.
