Here, on linux debian wheezy, FWIW, the /usr/local/etc/amanda directory is owned by amanda:disk, but I have 2 amanda-security files, both owned by root:root, one beside the amanda directory, and one in it. Differing by one byte in length, one has everthing commented, the other leaves off a # in front of a line. This is on this machine, the server. Which one it uses, I've not a clue. It Just Works(TM), most of the time. That directory exists but is empty on all client machines. A bunch of wheezy's and one jessie. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
