I take it you unpacked, made, and installed amanda as root.
Generally speaking, thats a no-no.
You need a user 'amanda', and 'amanda' should be a member of a group
like 'disk' for starters although some use group 'operator' too.
Back out of the source dir once the user:group issue is resolved
and do a
¨chown -R amanda:disk(or whatever group you used)
amanda-version.number.of.build(-dateofbuildrelease)"
Then step back into the directory and do a make clean, then
#> su amanda
#>./configure (with your list of options which includes specifying
the user and group, and any other options required for your system,
mine looks like this for a linux build: Note, I run this instead of
configure because it bottles it all up into a repeatable format..
------------------
#!/bin/sh
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=192.168.1.3 \
--with-amandahosts \
--with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda
-------------------edit above to suit your system of course

#>exit (back to root that is)
#>make install
Now all the assorted permissions should be set correctly.
Note that root cannot normally execute any amanda util except the
recovery stuffs.
This means you have to test it (amcheck /configname/) etc while
being amanda instead of root. And the crontab entries that will
wind up running her will go into the amanda crontab, not roots.

Someone else more familiar with Solaris will have to further define
the interpretation of these errors, but thats what I see from an
amanda users viewpoint. If I'm wrong, then of course I can
probably be ignored. :-)
