My first impression is that the directory is locked as if they are locked from access by amgtar: root@coyote:/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily# su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amadmin Daily due"|grep Overdue Overdue 20 days: shop:/usr/local Overdue 20 days: shop:/var/amanda Overdue 20 days: lathe:/usr/local Overdue 20 days: lathe:/var/amanda Overdue 20 days: GO704:/var/amanda Whats the perms supposed to be? cd-ing to the home of shop/etc and looking at amandates: gene@coyote:/sshnet/shop/etc$ cat amandates /etc 0 1540882971 /etc 1 1540796552 /home 0 1540884324 /home 1 1540796542 /lib/firmware 0 1540882919 /lib/firmware 1 1540796545 /root 0 1540882911 /root 1 1540796549 /usr/lib/amanda 0 1540882975 /usr/lib/amanda 1 1540796556 /usr/local 0 1540882908 /usr/local 1 1538809433 /var/amanda 0 1540882905 /var/amanda 1 1538636569 /var/lib/amanda 0 1540882914 /var/lib/amanda 1 1540796566 gene@coyote:/sshnet/shop/etc$ ls -l amandates -rw-r----- 1 63998 disk 380 Oct 30 03:26 amandates But it takes root to do a chown as sshfs only allows gene to modify his own stuff. I've got two paths to that machine, ssh has me logged in. >From a root shell on this machine, the server: after making /etc/amandates amanda:disk from a shell on that machine: root@coyote:/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily# su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily" Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- NOTE: Holding disk '/usr/dumps': 641240 MB disk space available, using 640740 MB Searching for label 'Dailys-27':found in slot 27: volume 'Dailys-27' Will write to volume 'Dailys-27' in slot 27.

But why didn't amcheck yell about that before now? It hasn't, so thats a hellofagood ? All this is the debian way the client is installed. I'll fix the other two and we'll see what happens at 3:45 am tom. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >------ Nathan Stratton Treadway - [email protected] - Mid-Atlantic > region Ray Ontko & Co. - Software consulting services - > http://www.ontko.com/ GPG Key: > http://www.ontko.com/~nathanst/gpg_key.txt ID: 1023D/ECFB6239 Key > fingerprint = 6AD8 485E 20B9 5C71 231C 0C32 15F3 ADCD ECFB 6239 Copyright 2018 by Maurice E.
