problematic files :
/usr/lib/amanda/calcsize
/usr/lib/amanda/runtar
/usr/sbin/amcheck
/usr/lib/amanda/dumper
/usr/lib/amanda/planner
/usr/lib/amanda/rundump
/usr/lib/amanda/killpgrp
what I found in doc :
calcsize,runtar:
Since tar traverses the directory hierarchy and reads files as a regular user
would,it must run as root. Programs calcsize and runtar therefore must be
installed setuid root.
amcheck,dumper,planner:
run on the tape server machine and need a privileged network port for secure
communication with the clients.
killpgrp:
is used to kill vendor dump programs that run as root
rundump:
setuid wrapper for systems that need to run the vendor dump program
as root
so I think yes these permissions are needed
is this info sufficient ?
thanks
