    I forgot in case you aren't fam with amanda, much of it will not run
    as any user but its own user, in this case amanda. Security etc.

    No, it just hangs forever on the su command, never coming back.
    everything else I tried, which wasn't much, seemed to keep on working
    as I sent that message with that hung su process in another shell on
    another window. I'm an idiot, normally running as root...

    I've rebooted, not knowing if an echo 0 to that variable would fix it
    or not, I see after the reboot the default value is 0 now.
