In the past I had a problem with /tmp/amanda being created as owned by root. Don't recall how it happened, probably after an install, while still root, I ran some amanda command and it created it to leave its log files. But then the normal amanda-user could not add to the /tmp/amanda directory. Jon -- Jon H.
