The various dump programs on Solaris need access to the raw device for
the file system. The rundump command is set-uid root so it can make the
backups, but the amcheck portion is not. The solution I found for my
Solaris systems was to change the group membership to the 'amanda'
account to the group that owns the devices and make sure the devices are
read-only to that group.
Does that help?

Hi all,
I hope you can help! I'm just setting up amanda on a solaris 5.7
server, and I'm getting this error:
odus 99 /home3/local/etc> amcheck normal
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home3/amanda/holding: 7302172 KB disk space
available, using 7199772 KB
slot 1: read label `normal101', date `X'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape normal101 label ok

not exist

NOTE: index dir /usr/local/var/amanda/normal/index does not

Server check took 0.525 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: odus: [could not access /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5
(/export/home0): Permission denied]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.141 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.1)
Any idea what might be causing the error in the client hosts
check? I don't see anything wrong with the permissions for
/export/home0.
Thanks,
Brian Maxwell
