Hi fellow Amanda users, I'm having a problem backing up one of my Windows 2000 boxes with amanda and smbclient. It's a Compaq Deskpro EXM 815 with a SMC EZ Card 10/100 1211TX NIC. I'm backing up several other Win2k boxes fromthe same Amanda server and smbclient fine. This machine has never backed up.
What happens is that when it starts the backup, everything works fine for a while, then it just hangs. Both machines (the amanda server and the Win2k problem client) are still usable and able to communicate on the network. Ethereal and tcpdump show that there is no SMB data being sent between these two machines after it hangs. I can still ping, telnet, start a new smbclient, etc. between the boxes, but the original smbclient is hung. The sendbackup and smbclient processes still show up in the process table. Also, when I run smbclient ... -T... manually, the same thing happens. So maybe I'm posting to the wrong list because maybe this is a smbclient problem? I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2, samba 2.2.1a, and GNU tar version 1.13.19 running on Red Hat 7.2 (2.4.7-10).
