The server is running on a linux machine and there are 5 other linux clients that connect to it with no problems. amanda runs on the client as amanda:amanda with amanda being part of the operator group. On the linux machines I've got the amanda user as part of the disk group, but freebsd doesn't have that. Is there another group that amanda should be a member of? Here's the line from inetd.conf: --- amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad --- I've got the amandahosts set as: -------------------- root@ignatius:/home/amanda] # more .amandahosts intranet.schwartz-pr.com amanda ----------------------- thanks Jess To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
