Description Magnus Fromreide 2015-03-11 08:00:39 UTC
Description of problem:
The redhat (and derivatives) packaging of amanda sets _libexecdir equal to _libdir.

When using the ssh auth_method the amanda server assumes that the amandad execuable is located in _libexecdir on the target host but since RH changed that to be /usr/lib64 on x86_64 and /usr/lib on ix86

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
amanda-libs-3.3.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an amanda server on an x86_64 host
2. Set up an amanda client on an ix86 host
3. Configure them to communicate via ssh
4. See how the backup fails to execute /usr/lib64/amandad on the ix86 host

Actual results:
No backup is made

Expected results:
The client host is backed up

Additional info:
One could work around this in a redhat-specific way by means of setting the amandad_path config parameter to /usr/sbin/amandad
