Hello, Is the following a reasonable invocation of adduser for adding a user named 'backup' on: the amanda-client host? the amanda-server host? adduser --system --ingroup nogroup --home /var/run/backup \ --shell /bin/sh --disabled-password backup >/dev/null 2>&1 || true Are there any security problems or filesystem problems (or amanda problems) with using the above on either type of host? TIA, Susan
