Having create a set of zmanda debian packages on one debian 9.9 machine,
I have copied those to another freshly built machine, and installed
them.
I seem to hit a problem with permissions and ownership
of /etc/amanda-security.conf.
amcheck wants /etc/amanda-security.conf, but the file is in /etc/amanda,
not /etc. That one cannot solve with a symlink. Copy the file instead.
amcheck also wants it to be owned by root, and not writable by the
group.
Having done that I get another error message complaining:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
HOST localhost ERROR: can not access '/etc/amanda-security.conf': Permission
denied (ruid:63998 euid:63998)
HOST localhost ERROR: can not access '/etc/amanda-security.conf': Permission
denied (ruid:63998 euid:63998)
Client check: 1 host checked in 2.169 seconds. 2 problems found.
Make up your mind: who do you want to own /etc/amanda-security.conf?
xinetd runs the client as
user = amandabackup
group = disk

"When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of
the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but
the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one
presents a state of society under the protection of just and
well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
