Or everything maybe, since the user amanda:disk should own all files
in that same directory. The perms should look something like this:
[root@coyote root]# ls -l /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 20832 Aug 3 04:29 amanda.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 693 Dec 24 2002 chg-scsi.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda disk 5502 Jul 13 09:16 disklist
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 784 Oct 23 00:30 tapelist
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 757 Jun 10 16:26
tapelist.amlabel
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 784 Oct 23 00:30
tapelist.yesterday
This is beginning to look as if you have chowned things a bit somehow.
Please chown them back to resemble the above. This is possibly
something that rpms may not handle properly. When useing the
tarballs, it is unpacked, configured, and built by amanda, then is
installed by root, automaticly taking care of all required
permissions when done in that manner. It just works.
Likewise, your /usr/local/var/amanda/DailySet1 tree (or wherever the
rpms keep the records) should also all belong to amanda:disk. The
executables, probably in /usr/local/libexec should look like this:
root@coyote root]# ls -l /usr/local/libexec
total 1904

with only those shown as root above actually being owned by root.
Better yet, since you are determined to use rpms, go get the src.rpm
from the site Matt Hyclak posted here yesterday? and follow the
instructions there.
