Greetings; This F10 upgrade is beginning to stabilize, so I thought I'd restart amanda tonight by going to her home dir, becoming amanda, and installing the latest bleeding edge of 2.6.2alpha-0227. But when I did an 'ls' (as amanda) to get the file listing preparatory to calling tar xzf on the latest tarball, I was greeted by a no permission response. This user directory was not touched all this time that I'm aware of, so it should have still been 100% owned by amanda:disk. But there were files owned by root that were not the parent tarballs, and some files were even owned by me, gene! Most obvious was the stuff linked to in /var/tmp and in /tmp, so in addition to doing a chown -R as root to everything, I had to go fiddle with subdir ownerships in both /tmp and /var/tmp, stuff whose names were kde related. But I have never ran kde as amanda! Anyway, it is now sorted and amanda should try to back the whole maryann up tonight since enough time has elapsed and everything is now stale. With a 1TB drive and about 90GB of data, it should be done by the time I get up in the morning. IF there are no more surprises that is. That dull knocking sound? Yeah... Anybody got a clue for sale about how those perms may have gotten fubared? It appears I'm fresh out. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
