How do I get amverify to verify nttar, gtar, etc? I'm attempting to
edit the amverify script to contain this:

if [ X"$TAR" != X"" -a X"$2" = X"$TAR" ]; then
        CMD=$TAR
        ARGS="tf -"
elif [ X"$TAR" != X"" \
        -a X"$SAMBA_CLIENT" != X"" \
        -a X"$2" = X"$SAMBA_CLIENT" ]; then
        CMD=$TAR
        ARGS="tf -"
elif [ X"$TAR" != X"" \
        -a \(
        X`basename $2` = X`basename $TAR` \
        -o X`basename $2` = X"gtar" \
        -o X`basename $2` = X"gnutar" \
        -o X`basename $2` = X"nttar" \) ]; then
        CMD=$TAR
        ARGS="tf -"

However, I still receive messages like "(** Cannot do nttar dumps)".


Is it amverify only that says "Cannot do nttar dumps" or does amcheck
and others complain with similar errormsgs?

"doesn't even work"? as emty output? or other error msg?
What if you add as first line, just after the hash-bang

        #!/bin/sh
        echo ARGS: "$@" > /tmp/amverify-args.$$
        # rest of the program.
