Thank you, that is what I needed, I hit the web page and as you said,
found only 1.16, the 1.15.1 should do the trick for sure.
Apparently the amanda binary I'm using didn't have GNUTAR defined,
I'm trying to put a binary on the amanda user's path so its found
anyway, even without a proper variable definition.
Linking (# ln -s) GNUTAR to the binary will do the job ?
In what directory should I put the GNUTAR link ?
I love amanda, I truely do, it is a wonderful project. And with a little
more forthought I could have spend my afternoon doing something else.
thank you,
Brian
