Frank,

I think so to, but when I did, ls -l, it shows the correct permissions:

[root@thoth amanda]# ls -l /usr/local/dist/libexec/
total 288
-rwxr-xr-x  1 amanda amanda 25853 Feb 16 10:43 amandad

Plus, the amandad shows it checking the same runtar prog:

OK /
OK /usr/local/dist/libexec/runtar executable
OK /usr/local/dist/bin/tar executable
OK /etc/amandates read/writable
OK /usr/local/amanda/gnutar-lists/. read/writable
OK /bin/gzip executable
OK /dev/null read/writable
OK /tmp/amanda has more than 64 KB available.
