Subject: Samba problem.
Hi guys!
i've got 2.4.2p2 running great on multiple linux boxes . . no problem.
just got a NAS in and need to set it up for backup.
1. i created a user on the NAS and granted it rights as needed to
backup.
2. created a share specifically for backup and set correct rights (read
only . i don't mind making a full dump of this NAS every night . .it
needs it)
3. smbclient was found when i installed 2.4.2p2 . . but i did a make
clean and reconfigured with the --with-smbclient option when i started
having problems.
4. i have an entry in disklist as such:
nas-1 //nas-1/back samba-comp-tar
5. here's the amanda.conf dumptype entry:
define dumptype samba-comp-tar {
program "GNUTAR"
options no-compress
priority medium
}
6. the amandapass is setup correctly:
//nas-1/back amanda%password
7. on running amcheck normal (my backup routine)
i get this error:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: nas-1: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 4 hosts checked in 30.130 seconds, 1 problem found
any ideas? i have run smbclient by hand, no problem . .got into the NAS
easily with the amanda user and pass. i double checked the Makefile to
ensure that smbclient was set correctly before make . .. .
Anthony
