To test this with smbclient, do: smbclient '//homeros/d$' -U 'amanda%secret' -W MYDOMAIN And you should get the "smb: >"-prompt, and type e.g. "dir" to list the files. If you add on each PC a local user instead of the domain user, then you should not add the MYDOMAIN value to /etc/amandapass, and test without the "-W MYDOMAIN" option for smbclient, of course. -- Paul Bijnens, XplanationTel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUMFax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ...* * ...

RE: a problembacking up a window machine
Thanks for the responce. I don't have much experience working with Samba. My test on the Unix server was: # cat testfile.txt | smbclient -M window-name I received a pop up with testfile.txt contant. however when I type: # smbclient -L window-client-name -N I get the following error message: Anonymous login successful Domain=[CLEVEREX] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment - --- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Server Comment ---- WorkgroupMaster ---- Does it means that I have not configured Samba currectly?

a problembacking up a window machine
hello, For the last couple of days I am unsuccessfully trying to backup a window machine(Win 2000) with Samba server(Solaris 9). I installed Samba on the Solaris server and successfully run and tested smbclient. Yet, I am unable to backup the 'Shared folder' on the window box. When running amcheck Amanda sends me the following error message: NOTE: info dir /usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/hostname.com: does not exist NOTE: index dir /usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/index/hostname.com: does not exist Server check took 0.190 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check WARNING: hostname.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 host checked in 30.031 seconds, 1 problem found Additionally, I updated the file: /etc/amandapass with the following line: //Window-computer-name/share-folder-name username%password I created a shared folder on the Window machine. smbd and nmbd deamons are running! Any thoughts, similar experience etc Thanks much, gil
