hi all,

studying amanda's last dump -- wasn't pretty -- and something smelled
funny.

if you specify mount points rather than device names in a server's
disklist, and amanda is not root equivallent on the client, than files
on those client mount points (and their subdirectories) must have read
privillages for amanda?

is there a quick and secure solution to this, that is, to give amanda
the rights to read everything without getting into a bunch of acl stuff?

cheers
