I have set up a client for amanda to backup. The amanda server runs as

In the sendsize log I see the following line:
runtar: error [must be invoked by amanda]
Looks like the executable was compiled with the default amanda user, "amanda".
Thus, it expects to be run only by a user named amanda.
After compile you decided to name the amanda user "backup".
The excutables on the client must be compiled to know of this.
configure --with-?user?=backup ...
(Not certain of the exact "with" option).
Actually I just used yum to install the amanda-client, so there was no
compiling involved. So I assume that I need to use a tarball if the
username is not amanda, then?
