[BackupPC-users] patch for auto-detection of Bonjour (apple) clients for 3.2
I patched BackupPC_dump to look for bonjour clients. My apologies if this is not the most correct way to do so. What this allows is: If you have an apple client with hostname foo and Bonjour name foo.local, you can enter the client's name as foo and backuppc_dump will auto-detect its bonjour name. This makes it so that your clients don't have to run an smb service if you don't want to without redundantly entering .local for all your clients. patch-bin-backuppc_dump.diff Description: Binary data Cheers, -james-- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

But in *nix world, 'foohost.local' itself is a valid name which may or may not be related to 'foohost'. So this in general seems more like a hack than a robust, general solution. I'm not sure what the problem is with just appending '.local' to the names of Bonjour hosts in the Backuppc 'hosts' file. Alternatively, just create the aliases in the /etc/hosts file or equivalents. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
