ok, I solved the initial problem below - the latest Amanda rpms that
come with RedHat aren't compiled with Samba support! I downloaded an
alternative set and all is fine....well, not all - I get the following
error when running amdump:
FAILED [no backup size line]
Is this the incompatibility between Amanda and Samba 3 that was
mentioned? If so, is there a way around it (short of recompiling Samba
with someone's patch - I want to stick to RPMs on this particular
server) or should I ditch Samba 3 and download some shiny Samba 2.2 rpms?
cheers
Matt

Hi,
Hoping someone can put their finger on a little problem I have....I've
searched the archive but haven't found anything relevant....
I've been running Amanda 2.4.2 on a server with Samba 2.2.7 and have
been backing up Linux and Windows shares using these for a while now.
Having bought a new server and installed the latest version of RedHat,
I'm faced with running Amanda 2.4.4 and Samba 3.0.0. I've maintained
both the Amanda and Samba configurations as identical to the old server,
however Amanda now complains when trying to connect to the windows shares.
These are the entries in the disklist file and the dumptypes section
from my amanda.conf:
mickey /etc comp-client-tar
mickey /var comp-client-tar
mickey //saturn/Apps comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Business comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Docs comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/NetData comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/NetTemp comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Office comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Procedur comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Profiles comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/wwwscripts comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/wwwroot comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Gordano comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/GoldMine comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/Homedirs comp-server-tar
mickey //saturn/mssql comp-server-tar
-----------------------------------------------------------
define dumptype root-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
compress none
index yes
priority low
}
define dumptype user-tar {
root-tar
comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
priority medium
}
define dumptype comp-client-tar {
user-tar
comment "Client compression"
compress client fast
}
define dumptype comp-server-tar {
user-tar
comment "Server compression"
compress server fast
}
==========================================
and this is the result of running amcheck:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------

Client check: 3 hosts checked in 10.104 seconds, 15 problems found
==========================================================
I have the relevant amandapass entry and if I use smbclient manually
(smbclient //saturn/Apps for example) it connects fine. What I can't
work out is if this is an Amanda problem or a Samba one....
My samba configuration is very simple:
[global]
workgroup = RWA
server string = MICKEY
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = domain
password server = SATURN
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = no
dns proxy = no
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
map archive = no
===========================================
anyone have any ideas whats going on?
thanks in advance for any help ;o)
cheers
Matt
