Could this be related to an smbclient problem reported earlier where incrementals fail authentication? I'm attaching the concluding email from that thread.

What it comes down to, is....Samba 3.0.23-1 broke my system. I'd setuid the smbclient and mount.cifs commands on disk; it complained until I removed that permission bit from those files. That didn't fix the backuppc problems (though I held my breath as I tested again). [It turns out smbmnt is /not/ based on "libsmb" - which is why samba was complaining and bailing - nothing based on this library can be suid anymore, fyi...so I simply setuid that executable. Bob's your uncle.] Prepare for this upgrade, folks! They're trying to improve the world over at Samba-land, and we're gonna be hurtin' until we figure all this out. I still have no idea why logins only fail on incrementals. I've upgraded to BackupPC v3.0.0beta0, but the smbclient command lines for SMB-based incremental, full, and restore are the same as in past versions :-/ No satisfaction there. I tested anyway, but you already know how that story turns out. I've been through the entire release notes for this version of Samba - my prev version was 3.0.14a-2 (fedora core-4) - and there are literally thousands of changes. My eyes are bleeding. Nothing jumped out at me, no eureka moment... <rant>We need a Linux kernel approach for samba, it would seem, where even numbers and odd numbers are used for stable versions and for massive changes, respectively - and those unstable versions are not pushed out to every computer in the world! </rant> Is anyone else running this version of samba? If so, is it working for you? I'll work this problem from both ends....if anyone has any info, I would be grateful. I'd go back, but the idea is that sofwtware changes are *for the better*, and the Samba guys have as good a rep as anyone. I'm going to try to fix this before I punt and downgrade. I'm simply running a full backup on each machine that has not been backed up for the last week or so....! I would have punted days ago if I didn't have this escape hatch. Complicating things is the fact that I have this half-a-terabyte volume, and it's 95% full, because I have it retaining nearly every backup I've ever done....so I really reduced the retention figures, and now BackupPC_trashClean is going nuts - it's already returned nearly 4 GB...and I have this feeling it'll be running all night - or all weekend :-) More as it happens.... Thought for the day: Fedora makes "trailblazers" of us all, I think, when you have an untested combination of software - like BackupPC and Samba! /bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
