Just a guess, perhaps the pre-built amanda package you are using was compiled with a default user of "backup". As a workaround, it might work to create a user named "backup" with the same uid, gid, and home dir as "amandabackup". Simplest way is to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Duplicate the "amandabackup" lines in those files and delete the leading 6 characters of the new line. jl -- Jon H. LaBadie [email protected] 11226 South Shore Rd.
