which group ?
Hi,
I'm in the process of packaging amanda (a network backup system -
client-server). In the install guide it's recommended to install the
binaries under a non privileged user and put this user in a group
which has raw access to the disk devices. So I thought I take the user
backup and the group disk for the binaries. Is this a sensible
decision ? Should I follow this advice at all or just use root:root ?
Are there any other points which should be taken into
account ?
Does there exist a Readme which explains the reason and the usage for
the different users and different groups ?
And last question ;-)
I looked at the dump package and found out that /sbin/dump and
/sbin/restore are in the group tty. Why are they in tty, shouldn't it
be disk ?
Greetings,
Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
