Re: Problems with amanda on Cygwin

CYGWIN inetd is running as the Local System account.

And I tried changing System to SYSTEM in inetd.conf, but there was nochange.

It occurs to me that the error messages I'm seeing while running inetd-d might be a red herring, since in that case inetd is running under myuser account instead of SYSTEM.Does cygwin inetd write a log file anywhere? I don't see anything in/var/log.

But in the Application log, I found a bunch of inetd errors:
inetd : PID 2808 : amanda: can't set uid 18: Permission denied.
You can check with which authority inetd is running. Check theproperties of the CYGWIN inetd service, the log on tab.
It should be running as Local System account.
Amanada is supposed to be running as System, so it should be able todo anything, right? The inetd.conf line looks like this:amanda dgram udp wait System /usr/local/libexec/amandadamandad
The only difference between yours and mine is that the user SYSTEM isall uppercase. I don't know if that's an issue, you can give it a try.
