For some strange reason user operator on FreeBSD 2.2.6 is in group staff and not in group operator. As far as I can tell user Operator should be in group operator out of the box if the Amanda port is configured to build --with-user=operator --with-group=operator Unless this breaks anything someone at FreeBSD should commit the following patch: --- /usr/src/etc/master.passwd.orig Wed Oct 8 07:34:14 1997 +++ /usr/src/etc/master.passwd Thu May 28 21:32:15 1998 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ root::0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh toor:*:0:0::0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root: daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/root:/nonexistent -operator:*:2:20::0:0:System &:/usr/guest/operator:/bin/csh +operator:*:2:5::0:0:System &:/usr/guest/operator:/bin/csh bin:*:3:7::0:0:Binaries Commands and Source,,,:/:/nonexistent games:*:7:13::0:0:Games pseudo-user:/usr/games:/nonexistent news:*:8:8::0:0:News Subsystem:/:/nonexistent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
