I've been trying to configure the amanda client on my freebsd (4.6-stable) machine and have been running into problems. amcheck works fine, but when it actually tries to run the backup, I get these errors and the status email says disk off line: ------ [root@ignatius:/tmp/amanda] # more runtar.20021024035720.debug runtar: debug 1 pid 94115 ruid 74 euid 0 start time Thu Oct 24 03:57:20 2002 /usr/local/bin/gtar: version 2.4.3b2 error [must be invoked by operator] runtar: pid 94115 finish time Thu Oct 24 03:57:20 2002 -------- [root@ignatius:/tmp/amanda] # more sendsize.20021024035720.debug .... sendsize: calculating for amname '/usr/local/etc', dirname '/usr/local/etc' sendsize: getting size via gnutar for /usr/local/etc level 0 sendsize: missing exclude list file "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar" discarded sendsize: spawning /usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar in pipeline sendsize: argument list: /usr/local/bin/gtar --create --file /dev/null --directory /usr/local/etc --one-file-system --listed-increme ntal /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/ignatius.schwartz-pr.com_usr_local_etc_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . runtar: error [must be invoked by operator] ---------------- What am I doing wrong? The server is running on a linux machine and there are 5 other linux clients that connect to it with no problems. amanda runs on the client as amanda:amanda with amanda being part of the operator group. On the linux machines I've got the amanda user as part of the disk group, but freebsd doesn't have that. Is there another group that amanda should be a member of? Here's the line from inetd.conf: --- amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad --- I've got the amandahosts set as: -------------------- root@ignatius:/home/amanda] # more .amandahosts intranet.schwartz-pr.com amanda ----------------------- thanks Jess To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
