HI Paul
My tmp has the correct permissions.
# ls -ld tmp
drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 552 Sep 5 15:30 tmp
server:/ #
Yes my Amanda client has stopped working since I re partitioned and set
noexec and nouser for /tmp dir but I have done a fair bit since the
partition. Anyway I amended the fstab and things didn't get better So
for now I am ruling fstab out.
Thus going to disable SuSE default Firewall I did add the ports anyway
kets see.
Cheers
