I went back to salsa, and searched for amanda, and finally found a gfx
button that would download the amanda-master tarball.
Running my gh.cf configure script after changing the group from disk to
backup it appears I need to add at least 2 more options to my script.
1. I need to shut off and and all attempts to use ipv6, I am at least 100
miles from any ipv6 services here, so how do I pass that to ./configure?
2. If dump is not installed, which it is not, ahh, but it WAS! and never
will be on my watch, ./configure hangs for minutes checking how it does
estimates, so I need to shut that off too, how do I pass that
to ./configure? Simple, remove dump. So thats easy, but it claims there
is a working ipv6, and its totally disabled in /etc/sysctl.conf by this:
# this kills ipv6, delete these 7 lines if it ever gets to West (by God)
Virginia
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth1.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.ppp0.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.tun0.disable_ipv6 = 1
But an ip a shows:
: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1f:c6:62:fc:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff <--ipv6 crap
So I still need the config option to disable that.
