I should get amanda working as a client on that machine, its considerably more secure when setup correctly. Unforch, much of that security can be perceived as broken by shoehorning the old girl into a packaging system such as rpm, which has no (visible) facilities to do some things as the user, and some things as root, which the normal amanda install from the tarball does. And to clarify an apparent assumption, there is no problem with the pata drives that is even remotely amanda related, particularly since amanda is not installed on that box. All I have to do to trash the filesystems on both drives is connect a 2nd drive to either the IDE0 or IDE1 cables on that particular box. The second drive doesn't even have to be mounted, just there. Its a Mach-Speed mobo FWIW. ATM the dvd reader is on IDE1, and a 46GB pata drive on IDE0. Working great now for about a year that way. >---- > >> I did have nfs running between them, for about a week, but local weather >> created a power failure that outlasted both UPS's, and that hasn't worked >> since the reboots.

But I can't get a top secret clearance. :( -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
