Les Sorry for using this channel, but I have tried to disconnect myself from this forum. I do not want to receive mails anymore from backuppc.
I forgot the user name and password to unsubscribe. Any Help?

I think that is a network-layer error, not a failure to authenticate. The way to test a connection to an rsync in daemon mode is to use double :'s from the command line rsync like "rsync [options] host::module". If you don't give a destination, you should get a directory listing. > Anyway, that's why I tried out other ways to connect to the Windows machine. > You know, the rule of least resistance... ;-) The default smb method using smbclient should have worked if automounting works - but it might be handy to have automounting set up for other purposes. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
