Hello,

Amanda is successfully running on our Solaris Servers. But on Amanda's
report (the E-mail it sends after amdump) I get the following STRANGE
message:

? Unable to create temporary directory in any of the directories listed
below:
?       /tmp/
?       /var/tmp/
?       /

But when I manually accessed the server as Amanda user - I had no problem
creating a folder under /tmp as well as /var/tmp/ !

Any thoughts why am I getting this message?
Additionally, can somebody tell me what files does Amada writes under /tmp
folder?


Many thanks,
gil
