Re: [BackupPC-users] How do I install on NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+?

I took your advice, Les, and re-installed the passwd package to get chfn. I found how to do this specifically on the ReadyNAS at�http://www.blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/2009/03/22/Installing-Mysql-server-on-a-ReadyNAS-duo. I then�reinstalled�BackupPC (apt-get install --reinstall backuppc).�However, now I get the following error:

Starting backuppc: 2010-04-29 17:48:39 $Conf{NmbLookupPath} = '/usr/bin/nmblookup' is not a valid executable program

invoke-rc.d: initscript backuppc, action "start" failed.

I found that nmblookup was part of the samba package, so I reinstalled samba�but got the same error. I thought that I might need to chmod nmblookup to be executable but the file/directory isn't anywhere on my computer.

I'm stuck!

Thanks in advance,

Omair

I don't know enough about that OS to help much, but the problem seems to
be that it failed to create the system-level backuppc user:
#
Can't exec "/usr/bin/chfn": No such file or directory at
/usr/sbin/adduser line 892.
#
chown: `backuppc:backuppc': invalid user

Is there a package you need to add to get the chfn command or anything
else it might take to make the adduser program succeed?
