Well, running 2.6.0-test11, I just discovered I'm back to being unable to 'su amanda' again. It worked the first time, but I got rejected frorm unpacking the lastest amanda-2.4.4p1-20031126.tar.gz due to a lack of permissions, so I exited, chowned the archive to what it was supposed to be, but cannot now do another su amanda in order to start the install of this latest snapshot. The process just hangs, never comeing back to a prompt. I never had any troubles with that useing test9, so I guess its reboot time again. However, IMO this is a major problem, and needs fixed before 2.6.0. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
