Tisn't lib, its 'amanda/libexec', as in $prefix/libexec/selfcheck,
and it should be executable (I think, its a winderz box, & me not
winderz expert) by amanda. Go re-read the installation instructs for
the win32 "client" version & dbl check it from the top down. Aka,
yes, its a problem :)
Here, on my only client, there isn't an 'amanda' in that path, just
/usr/local/libexec/selfcheck etc. There is also no firewall as its
on the other side of the client machine here.
However, IIRC that would have been set in the configure that built
that win32 client object, so its a no brainer as long as they
actually match, or at least I'd assume that till informed otherwise.
