What does the following say sudo lsof | grep -i /tmp/amanda That will tell if there is any process that is using the /tmp/amanda directory. Then you can figure out how that process is started (probably by poking into /proc or using pstree etc.,). Then decide whether to deinstall that program. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
