"I believe that the fix you need is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl. There are three strings:
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}
$Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}, and
$Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}
which control Samba backups and restore. In all three strings remove the "-N" flag.
My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the
login prompt is automatically suppressed because backuppc passes the
password through the PASSWD environment variable. I reported separately
a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025) in the new version of smbclient that prevents this password from being passed if the -N flag is used.
Let me know if this doesn't work."
but just thought i'd report back!!
