	Amanda Faq-O-Matic : Configuration : Solaris: Permission denied errors
	I got "Permission denied" errors when I tried dumps from Solaris clients. It was suggested that I add the "amanda" user to the group "sys" and give read access to the raw device. Example: (suppose I want a dump of /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5) ######################################################################## %> ls -la /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Dec 11 14:32 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 -> ../../devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw %> ls -la /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw crw------- 1 root sys 32, 5 Dec 11 14:32 /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw %> chmod g+r /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw %> ls -la /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw crw-r----- 1 root sys 32, 5 Dec 11 14:32 /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:f,raw ######################################################################## Next make sure that /etc/dumpdates is writeable by the amanda user (or the group sys) after having added the amanda user the the sys group. llalonde@giref.ulaval.ca
