Chris,

Have you specified samba user and password in
/etc/amandapass configuration file.

amandapass format:

<share name> <user name>%<password> <domain>

See http://www.amanda.org/docs/samba.html

Thanks,
Paddy

I have a Fedora Core 4 PC running Amanda server (and backing up the
server satisfactorily) and a couple of Windows PC's (one is Win2k and
the other a WinXP).

I have setup amanda to backup the win2k pc using samba following the
how-to, but I am getting an error when I run amcheck for this backup.

The error I get is (obfuscated private data):
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: local-machine: [samba access error: //server/share: Error
connecting to 192.168.0.2 (Permission denied): Connection to server
failed: returned 1]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.323 seconds, 1 problem found

Where is my configuration likely to be in error and how should I correct
this, please?
