See my other e-mail -- the shipping version of chg-zd-mtx doesn't work with modern versions of mtx. Use either the barcode-enabled version someone posted, or the version at http://www.noc.isite.net/?Projects I keep meaning to integrate the two versions into one, but just haven't had time

As others have said, it uses the TAPE environment variable. I wish we could convince the maintainer to use CHANGER instead, so it doesn't conflict with mt's TAPE environment variable sigh Anyway, make sure you are using either the version we made http://www.noc.isite.net/?Projects or

I'll change it in the chg-zd-mtx.sh.in tomorrow, and post a patch against the current CVS tree to here and amanda-hackers. The last one I posted was based off the one you listed below, and I did my best not to alter how it worked with non-barcode drives and whatnot. If you want to build off

Don't know if this problem has been solved for you, but if you are using hosts.allow/deny, you may find it necessary to permit aanda access in hosts.allow. For me, simply adding to hosts.allow amandad: (ip of backup host) worked a treat. On Wed, 21 Feb 2001, John R. Jackson wrote: ...
