In the past, when I found a working gnutar, I made a copy of it as something like /usr/local/bin/amgtar and told amanda to use that copy. That way /usr/bin/tar can be updated and not affect amanda with new bugs. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie [email protected] 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)
