This is indeed strange... can you check if /etc/tarsnap.conf is being read? It's possible that autoconf is picking /etc/ as the place for configuration files; this seems unlikely given that you had it installed under /usr/local, but I've learned to not assume any sort of predictable behaviour from autoconf. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
