Correct. This is unnecessary in both the disklist and the /etc/amandapass
files.

smbclient also allows you to specify -U user%passwd
From the smbclient manpage (2.0.7):
-U username
This specifies the user name that will be used by the
client to make a connection, assuming your server
is not a downlevel server that is running a protocol level
that uses passwords on shares, not on user-
names.
[...]
If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it
can be supplied using the -U option, by
appending a percent symbol ("%") then the password to
username. For example, to attach to a service as
user "fred" with password "secret", you would specify.
-U fred%secret
on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around
the percent symbol.
If you specify the password as part of
username then the -N option (suppress password prompt) is
assumed.

My site runs Samba 2.0.7 on Slackware 7 Linux, Amanda 2.4.2p1. Trust me
(and Paul), use:
//winbox/winshare winuser%passwd windomain
in your /etc/amandapass
(Where windomain is optional.)
If you've removed the extraneous slashes, changed your /etc/amandapass to
the user%pass format and *still* have problems, let us know.

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
Well... After doing some poking around I have discovered: It is not necessary to escape the backslashes as Paul points out. I'm not a C programmer, but I *think* that sendsize.c has the wrong syntax for my particular version of samba. It does not output the password in the correct place in the argument string for smbclient. I changed this and recompiled sendcheck so that the "pass" variable was put in the correct place. At best this is a partially working hack since this does not fix amcheck or make the dump work. The problem (again this is speculation) lies in the fact that smbclient 2.0.7 (the latest version I can find) requires that the arguments fall in this order: smbclient service [options] This is different than the order that sendsize.c and selfcheck.c send them in. both send strings like this: smbclient service [options] and within the code it appears to be assumed that -U specifies the password. In my version of smbclient, -U specifies a username. I hate to question the code because everytime I've done that I've been wrong. "it must be the library, the library's broken... or maybe it's this trailing semi-colon in my code" ;) Running out of ideas...

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
the syntax of /etc/amandapass has changed. i changed it in my patch for amanda-2.4.1p1 and this change was included in 2.4.2. the format of amandapass should be: //smb-host/sharename username%password eg. //somepc/c$ backup%secret this is clearly indicated in the docs/SAMBA file. you can use the regular expression * to match any sharename. this feature does not seem to be documented in the docs/SAMBA file. eg. * backup%secret the only expression that works is *.

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
Andrew, My SAMBA configuration is working with both /etc/amandapass and disklist using a small number of forward slashes. You might want to try this in your disklist: linuxbox //winbox/winshare And this in your /etc/amandapass: //winbox/winshare winpass windomain My guess is that what's happening somewhere in amanda is that your entry in disklist is being 'de-escaped' and not matching what's in amandapass. By using forward slashes throughout, escape characters become a non-issue. Good Luck.

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
Thanks for the help. I have found that amdump is trying to run smbclient, but is not supplying a password (I have one in /etc/amandapass). I also found that it was not handling the '/'s as I had expected (so I changed it to "win2kbox//C$" in my disklist). This still has not fixed the problem as it is trying to execute this line: smbclient win2kbox\\C$ -d 0 -U amanda -E -c archive 0;recurse;du which prompts for a password. when it should be trying to execute this line: smbclient win2kbox\\C$ amandapassword -d 0 -U amanda -E -c archive 0;recurse;du which just goes. For some reason it is not sending the password. This made me wonder if my /etc/amandapass entries were correct. I have played around with them, but to no avail. amandapass is as follows: win2kbox//C$ amandapassword (the slashes by the way are correct, I've tried them the other way and they break.

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
try this... - edit your disklist file and comment out everything except one of the smbclient backup entries - run amdump - look at the debug files in /tmp/amanda/ (i'm not sure which one, maybe sendbackup.debug, maybe rundump.debug) you should see the smbclient command line in there. try to run that same command line manually.

RE: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
smbclient is able to connect via command line and to list the contents of the w2k box. amcheck reports that: ERROR: 192.168.1.10: [PC SHARE //win2kbox/C$ access error: host down or invalid password?] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.822 seconds, 1 problem found I checked and rechecked amandapass and my winbox's passwords. Since I can smbclient to the winbox with the username amanda and password that I have set in amandapass I assume that this is not the problem. the selfcheck.debug file is as follows: selfcheck: debug 1 pid 22058 ruid 505 euid 505 start time Fri Feb 23 17:07:37 2001 /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck: version 2.4.2p1 checking disk /usr/local: device /usr/local: OK checking disk /u1: device /u1: OK checking disk /root: device /root: OK checking disk /boot: device /boot: OK checking disk /etc: device /etc: OK checking disk /home: device /home: OK selfcheck: pid 22058 finish time Fri Feb 23 17:07:38 2001 I don't know if it's supposed to list the samba connection here. Also, I can use smbmount to mount the win2k partition onto the linux filesystem tree and back it up that way. I don't know if this is a good solution. Are there problems with this? Thanks again.

Re: Samba/Win2k/RH7.0/Amanda
In addition to John Verify that you can use smbclient via command-line to connect and list the contents on the Win2K box. Snippet: Before our NT Admins started using Veritas to backup the Windoze machines I tested amanda under a multi-domain setup PROD and DEV. I had a problem connecting to the SHARE by name //machine/sharename. I could not authenticate using the DEV amanda - user:"backup" password:"I forget" or even as myself(Domain Admin) under the DEV domain in which the machine was bound and all the permissions seemed OK. Although under my PROD(Domain Admin) login I could connect to the SHARE list the contents. In short: Ran out of time to figure it out but if you get smbclient working command line with the logins for amanda.. Amanda will work. Bob --- "John R.
