Hi,

I need some help.

I was going through the install of Amanda 2.3.4 and during the Configure the 
process errored out with the following line

configure: error: *** --user-USER is missing

Any ideas what I missed.  I figured this is a minor issue and caused by an 
oversight on my behalf

From docs/INSTALL:

   F.  Choose which user and group you will run the dumps under.
       Common choices for user are `bin' or another user specifically
       created for Amanda, such as `amanda'; common choices for group
       are `operator' or `disk'.  If you do not specify
       --with-user=<username> and --with-group=<groupname>, configure
       will abort.  Also choose the default name for your
       configuration, such as `csd' or `DailySet1').  This name is
       used by the Amanda commands to choose one of multiple possible
       configurations.  You may specify it using the
       --with-config=<confgname>.

Frank
