During your installation, you usually run it with a user
such as 'amanda', so, one of your parameters during install
would be: ./configure --with-user=amanda.

Another option that you may want to be aware of is the
--with-group option if you want to install the software in
a group other than root as recommended in the Installation
Notes: http://www.amanda.org/docs/install.html.
