They did, wheezy.

I did update it to run as backup. Progress but no perms to create
the /var/log/amanda/amandad/amandad.date.dbg file.
Then I chown -R the ownership of the whole amanda tree to backup:disk
and that gives this error now:
ERROR: NAK shop: user amanda from coyote.coyote.den is not allowed to
execute the service noop: cannot open /var/backups/.amandahosts: No such
file or directory
So I renamed /var/log/amanda to /var/log/backups and back to amanda when
that didn't work because it couldn't find .amandahosts
in /var/log/backups, it was in /var/lib/amanda on the lathe. Still is
on both machines.
Thanks Nathan.
