My problem is that after running the first tape, amadmin refuses to read the database and will not allow me to do a "amadmin config balance" I'm getting the following error message (when run as a user on the tapehost other than bin) >new-ns:~$ amadmin magic balance >amadmin: could not open info db "/var/log/amanda/magic/curinfo" > >new-ns:~$ l /var/log/amanda/magic/ >total 42 >drwxrwxrwx 2 bin operator 512 Apr 26 10:02 . >drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Apr 25 13:54 .. >-rw-r--r-- 1 bin operator 10078 Apr 25 18:47 amdump.1 >-rw-r--r-- 1 bin operator 16384 Apr 26 09:59 curinfo.db >-rw-r--r-- 1 bin operator 0 Apr 25 17:23 curinfo.dir >-rw-r--r-- 1 jpb operator 11504 Apr 26 10:02 ktrace.out >-rw-r--r-- 1 bin operator 1469 Apr 25 18:47 log.19960425.0 and this message if I run as bin >$ /usr/contrib/bin/amadmin magic balance >amadmin: bogus seq number 13 for new-ns:sd0a >$ When I tried compiling the sources for myself rather than use the bsdi binaries distributed with 2.1, I got similar error messages. Anyway, would someone who is successfully running amanda 2.2.6 using a bsdi 2.1 system as the tapehost please send me email?
