Having read through some of the documentation it seemed a fairly straight forward thing to install an Amanda client. However, I used an rpm for it, having been forced to upgrade my tar software too but it appears to be running as amandabackup and in /var/lib... So I'm now getting the following:


amandad: time 0.002: accept error: access as amandabackup not allowed from amanda@orinoco: cannot open /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts: Permission denied
amandad: time 0.002: sending NAK pkt:

at the bottom of my amcheck. I've confirmed that the file is owned and chmoded correctly:

-rw-------   1 amandabackup disk  109 Apr 25 14:23 .amandahosts

Seems ok.

Check the directories /var /var/lib and /var/lib/amanda too
for access as amandabackup.



If I change the ownership or permissions it complains, so I think they are correct. In the .amandahosts file I have

server.domain.tld   amanda
server      amanda
server.domain.tld   amandabackup #added incase it made a difference
server       amandabackup #added incase it made a difference

The last two lines are not needed.

This is enough (note the errors message above):

   orinoco  amanda
