Hi,

i know, I am going to nerve, but it makes me mad, not getting things up, 
things that seem to run otherwise :-( .

My problem (still ):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rappelkasten:/daten/amanda # su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck rappel1"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /daten/amanda: 4464676 KB disk space available, that's plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet127 label ok
NOTE: info dir 
/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/rappelkasten.schmidt.int/__rumpl_lwd: does 
not exist
NOTE: index dir 
/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index/rappelkasten.schmidt.int/__rumpl_lwd: does 
not exist
Server check took 0.066 seconds
 
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: rappelkasten.schmidt.int: [This client is not configured for samba: 
//rumpl/lwd]
ERROR: rappelkasten.schmidt.int: [SMBCLIENT program not available]
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.033 seconds, 2 problems found
 
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I tried smbclient, and it worked fine, I tried
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smbtar -v -a -s rumpl -u amanda -p amanda -x lwd -t ./rumpl.tar
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and it worked fine.
Also the backup of a local dir does work.

Whats wrong with amanda ?

My configs :
/var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rappelkasten.schmidt.int        amanda
