Hello! I have one host that I can't seem to backup. When I try a manual backup (from the machine I want to backup, incidentally), I see:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Error: Can't find IP address for monsoon
monsoon is a DHCP host, and I don't know its IP address. I checked the
netbios name of 192.168.0.199, and found that that machine is not
monsoon.
Until I see monsoon at a particular DHCP address, you can only start
this request from the client machine itself.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
However....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nmblookup -A monsoon
Looking up status of 192.168.0.199
No reply from 192.168.0.199
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
and...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:9F:CD:87:3A
inet addr:192.168.0.199 Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Also, nslookup works...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nslookup monsoon
Server: 192.168.0.2
Address: 192.168.0.2#53
Name: monsoon.switzerny.org
Address: 192.168.0.199
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I tried to set the following, but that didn't help either:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
$Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd} = 'nslookup $host';
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When I SSH from the backup box, all is OK:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -l root monsoon

Pointers? Does backuppc expect this command to return ONLY the IP
address?
BTW, this client is an Ubuntu linux machine, set to use rsync over SSH
as the transfer mechanism.
Thank you in advance!
