Description Jon Brightwell 2006-07-21 14:19:25 UTC 
Amanda requires the tape device to have 'disk' group assignment.
The IDE tape drive is a [n]ht* device and is not listed in the udev rules, so they resort to root root permissions.
Amanda will error out with a permission denied until the permission is changed manually on the device (/dev/nht0 in this case).

Versions:
amadmin version: Amanda-2.4.5
udevinfo -V: udevinfo, version 085
uname -a: Linux filesrv 2.6.16.13-4-smp #1 SMP Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Fix:
The following entries should be added to '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules' for amanda to work:
KERNEL=="ht*",                  NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="nht*",                 NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"

The product "opensuse.org" is only for bugs in the *.opensuse.org wiki and
bugzilla itsself.

I'm moving the bug to SUSE Linux 10.1 (according to the "OS" field). Please change the product if this is incorrect.

Fixed for 10.2. Thanks!
