I haven't done any Unix in 4 years , but rw,rw,-- didn't sound right.I think you need to rwx,rwx,--- so that you can EXECUTE the files,or access the files in a directory (executing the directory). Try adding the "x" back in?? Deb Baddorfretired fm Fermilab :)

No reply's. Amazing since the wiki page claims its the most popular backup ever.. So I've played the 10,000 monkeys trying to rewrite Shakespears output, probably followed the ownership and perms too well. Tried to invent the user backup, succeeded well enough I can login as first user (gene) then sudo -i to become root. then "su backup", who can the df a 10T raid6 and see: backup@amanda:/root$ df /raid6 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg0-myraid 11272913680 1055764 11271857916 1% /raid6 owned by backup:backup, with perms=040660, or rw,rw,--. looks good right? BUT: ==================== root@amanda:~# su backup backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6 ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied total 0 d????????? ? ? ? ? ? DailySet1 backup@amanda:/root$ ls -l /raid6/DailySet1 ls: cannot access '/raid6/DailySet1': Permission denied ==================== So something is still fubar. The question is what?
