I have loaded Amanda on our Debian 390 system and it backs up great. The only problem I have is with permissions. I chown the /dev/dasd/0151/partx device to root:backup, chmod 640 and it works fine. However, every time I do a shutdown and restart, the owner is back to root:root and the mode is 600.
Can somebody tell me if this is being done through a startup script? If so, I haven't found it yet. On Woody for i386 the devices are owned by root:disk out of the box, and I don't have the same problem. It wouldn't be hard to create a script to change the perms on startup, I just like to how they are being changed in the first place. If anybody has an answer for this, I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks All.
