I notice from the archives (August and October) that there have been problems with
Amanda 2.4.4p1 and Samba 3.0. I recently installed Amanda 2.4.4p1 at our customer
site and want to install a new version of Samba. (Currently we have Samba 2.0.6!) My
question is:
Which version of Samba to use?
I've been using amanda 2.4.1p1 and Samba 2.0.6, for 2 or 3 years, to back up a network
of solaris and NT workstations. However, I'm increasingly finding that one of the NT
filesystem backups fails with the following error:
servb //mainserver/Users lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclie
Thanks to Jon and Paul for putting me straight on this.
I put the missing declaration (extern int optind) into amanda.h, and everything
compiles now.
(Sorry for the delay in replying but I had a few days off, not too far from Paul, in
Ghent)

share via SAMBA. I have 3 holding disks (partitions), which are fully available to
Amanda, and have sizes of 30Gb, 15Gb and 2Gb for hd1, hd2 and hd3 respectively.
I ran amstatus during a backup yesterday and not
I have been using amanda to backup NT shares successfully for some
time, but recently have had the following problem:
? invalid mid from server!
sendbackup: error [/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient returned 1]
At this point the backup stops and there is nothing written to the
tape (although the NT
