Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Amanda installation from a v2.6 to v3.2 via po= rts. I had configured Amanda previously to be installed as the user `operat= or`. The upgraded version wants to install as the user `amanda`; however th= is presents all kinds of problems: - the `amanda` user has no home directory, one is needed to put the access= file in - I already have all of the directories set up as owned by operator - I have a number of clients that are all set up to allow operator to acce= ss them, but not "amanda". I have tried setting AMANDA_USER and AMANDA_GROUP to be `operator`, but thi= s then complains that `operator` is not found in `/usr/ports/GIDs` and `/us= r/ports/UIDs`. Since these are part of the base system, I don't want to mes= s with them, so I groveled through the .mk files, and determined that I sho= uld be able to provide my own user and group files by setting the GID_FILES= and UID_FILES environment variable. I tried this. I created the necessary files (greping out the data from /etc= /passwd and /etc/group), put them in the same directory as GIDs and UIDs, a= nd ran the make command: GID_FILES=3D"/usr/ports/OP_GROUP" UID_FILES=3D"/usr/ports/OP_USER" AMANDA_= USER=3D"operator" AMANDA_GROUP=3D"operator" make install This runs along for a while, then dies with the note: ** /usr/ports/OP_GROUP doesn't exist. Exiting. *** Error code 1 If I do a `less /usr/ports/OP_GROUP` (copying exactly from the error messag= e), I can see the file I created just fine. Is there something that I'm missing? How am I supposed to install a port as= a user that already exists? Why doesn't make see that the file exists?
