bin is in the operator group.

It's labeled. But I notice another strange thing in the console:

the driver process dies badly. compiling it with debugging symbols
gives the following output from gdb:

#0  0x806a0f6 in vfprintf ()
#1  0x802a5a5 in vsprintf ()
#2  0x754c in log (typ=L_WARNING) at logfile.c:72
#3  0x19a5 in driver_main () at driver.c:102
#4  0x39e3 in main () at driverio.c:54

Changed that, but problem remains.

Because in the FreeBSD ports collection there is a version
2.2.6.1. I think the last number is simply truncated.

It doesn't matter on my 1 user system.

Changed that, no better results.

I want amanda mainly for the backup of my local disk. Just to see
how it operates. So I don't need a holding disk here....

Want to get it working first. After that let's see ;-)

I'l do that if needed later.

You are right, I changed that.

And now ... ?! ;-)) Dunno why vsprintf is choking....
