Matt,


Well you were right and that worked. Annoying story to it ...collegue
decided to upgrade the box to FC4 and not tell me.
The upgrade turned SELinux on by default.


Hi Paul,

so what was the real problem? FC4 installation changed the owner on/etc/dumpdates?

My understanding is that FC4 only enforces targeted policy which onlyprotectes a few daemons and amanda is not one of them. So amanda shouldwork fine even when selinux (default targeted policy) is enabled.


Thanks!

On Mon, Dec 19, 2005 at 05:45:45PM -0500, Paul Seniuk enlightened us:

Perms on /etc/dumpdates is:

-rw-rw-r--  1 root disk 172 Dec 16 02:37 dumpdates
Would anything be logged about failing to create /etc/dumpdates (getthat long pole out, I used the RPM version for CentOS) ?
For 'fun', I tried putting the perms to 777 ..still same error


Any feedback on this would be appreciated :)



Do you by chance have SELinux enabled on this machine and not on the
others?
