I don't use smb or amsamba, so I don't know what it does in depth. But I don't yet understand from your e-mail what's happening at all. Is this an error that prevents it from working or just a message you want to get rid of? Exit status 1 (from amsamba, but probably also from smbclient?) indicates more than a nuisance. Do you get the same error from a shell when trying smbclient command that amanda/amsamba produces? Maybe the issue needs to be analyzed and solved underneath amanda. Yours, Uwe
