BTW, it seems that 3.3.9 has a new requirement for /etc/amanda-security.conf to exist and be readable (but not writable) by the amanda user. I updated from F23 to F24 with updates-testing enabled and amanda wouldn't run until I created that file. I just copied the example file from /etc/amanda and set it mode 644, but something tells me that's probably not going to work when my backups run tonight. In any case, I think (but I'm not certain) that just pushing this as an update is going to break systems.
Yes, this is broken. You could also pass --with-security-file=/etc/amanda/amanda-security.conf to configure if you want to use that location.
Good to have confirmation; I wasn't entirely sure if this came about because I updated to F24 or if it was just coincidental. In the context of the default Fedora install, I'm wondering what the proper contents of that file would be. I just have it empty and things are working; I figured selinux is already doing its job (assuming you have it enabled, of course).
So upstream intends /etc/amanda/amanda-security.conf to be an example that admins copy to /etc/amanda-security.conf. This is problematic for rpms though that should basically work out of the box. It appears to accept the configured paths for programs to be "secure", so the example file should work fine for most installs. So I would ship a copy at /etc/amanda-security.conf. However, this does have the possibility of breaking configurations that use a custom tar/star/etc path. Perhaps not a nice thing as an update for stable releases.
Do note that the example file is composed entirely of comments. (And some rather poor grammar.) An empty file works fine. Basically if you don't specify anything then whatever was compiled-in as the default is allowed. I do agree that this probably shouldn't go out to F24/F23 unless that security-conf setup can be compiled out, which is actually kind of unfortunate. It would be nice to get it into F25, though.
