which is rather strange as I've already made sure, as far as I'm aware, that the disk devices are in the same group (sys) as the 'amanda' user (and 'amanda' is included in group 'sys' in the /etc/group file on the Cobalt machine).
Ah that could be it - didn't even think of checking the xinetd config file. 8-) No it doesn't currently have a 'groups = yes' directive. Thanks I'll try that and see if tonight's backup run works. Doh I see the Amanda documentation mentions this but for some reason it didn't register when I set up Amanda under the new OS on the server. My bad!
