Thanks for the flowers. Even an old coot manages to hit one once in
a while. :-)
I have a tendency to cheat, in that I use a script to drive the
configure utility that saves my butt if I screw up, and I'll freely
admit I got this from someone else on this list by plagerizing it:
------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# since I'm always forgetting to su amanda...
if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then
echo
echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!"
echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda,"
echo "but must be installed by user root."
echo
exit 1
fi
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda \
--with-group=disk \
--with-owner=amanda \
--with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
--with-changer-device=/dev/sg1 \
--with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
--with-tape-server=host.machines.ip.address \
--with-amandahosts \
--with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda
--------------------
which reminds me if I get to suffering from alzhiemers too badly.
Modify to suit your hardware of course :)
