The amanda-common postinst creates the backup user, creates the home directory if it doesn't already exist, creates .amandahosts in that directory as a link to /etc/amandahosts if it doesn't already exist,a nd forces the permissions on that file. It has been a long time since I thought about the postinst contents, but I don't recall anyone ever having a permissions problem like this either. I suppose we could also force the ownership of the directory in the postinst, but before we make that change I'd like to understand more about how you got into this situation, if possible. Can you describe for me, briefly, the history of Amanda on this machine so we can see if there's some obvious issue that led to the current state that might better be resolved elsewhere?
