Note to those installing from the BSD ports collection: You'll need to modify the amanda-server Makefile to list "amanda" (or whomever) as your tape operator.

It is not necessary to modify the Makefile. Many configuration parameters that you'd want to specify when building Amanda directly from source tarball can be passed to port on the command line. You'd use something like:

cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server && make AMANDA_USER=amanda install
