Greetings,

I got a working Amanda configuration and now my company wants to backup
the data on their windows machines; I tested samba using the tool
'smbclient' and so far i managed to tar a shared drive:

smbclient //10.1.20.26/MyDocuments -WMYDOMAIN -A auth -N -TXc backup.tar
'My Music' 'My Pictures' 'Personal' 'Messenger Service Received Files'
'./downloads'

(this command works just fine)


Also amcheck looks good, here is the debug trace:

On the Sendsize debug file i got the following:

sendsize: debug 1 pid 27094 ruid 31 euid 31 start time Thu Mar  6
20:00:30 2003
/home/amanda/libexec/sendsize: version 2.4.3b3
REQ packet is bogus: extra text at end
sendsize: pid 27094 finish time Thu Mar  6 20:00:30 2003


I'm running Amanda 2.4.3b3 on Redhat Linux 7.2. Samba is 2.2.1a-4.

Does anyone else has seen this message?

Thanks in advance.
