Which user run amandad? Check in the xinetd setting.
What are the permission of /var, /var/log, /var/log/amanda and
/var/log/amanda/amandad
Change permission so that the user in xinetd can write to /var/log/amanda

Recently, I had to install the amanda client package on my laptop to
recover a file. However, Ubuntu installed it with the user "backup"

How do I fix this? I've tried changing the ownership on the
directories to amandabackup on the laptop, but then get the error that
I need to run as backup.
I've tried changing the user to "backup" in the advanced.conf file on
the server, but then get the error that I need to run as amandabackup.
Thanks,
