Thanks for the help.
However, when I am following through the example you gave me.
ACA I updated the /etc/amandapass and I have created a domain account with
admin privileges.
Yet, when I run the command
smbclient /etc/amandapass //machine_name/c$ user%passwd mydomain
I get the following error message:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
Any idea why and how to debug it?
I know my english is not very good (actually it is "quiet" bad,
as I used to say), but when I follow my example the command
becomes:
smbclient '//machine_name/c$' -U user%passwd -W mydomain
Note:
- there is no mention of /etc/amandapass, that's is the
file where amanda gets the information to fill in here
- there are single quotes around the sharename, otherwise
the dollar-sign would give trouble in the shell
- there is a "-U" string before the user and the "-W" string
before the domain; I hope you do understand the basic
conventions used in unix command line program to give options.
- if the password contains any special characters for the shell,
then you need quotes around here too.
Thanks much,
gil

Does it means that I have not configured Samba currectly?
Any examples on how to test Samba are mostly welcome
In /etc/amandapass you find lines like:
Hostname+share username%Password DOMAIN
=============== ================= =========
//homeros/d$ amanda%secret MYDOMAIN
This implies that you have a you have a MS-Windows PC
named "homeros", which is part of the domain "MYDOMAIN",
and you have created a domainaccount with administrative
priviledges named "amanda", wich password "secret".
To test this with smbclient, do:
smbclient '//homeros/d$' -U 'amanda%secret' -W MYDOMAIN
And you should get the "smb: >"-prompt, and type e.g. "dir"
to list the files.
If you add on each PC a local user instead of the domain user,
then you should not add the MYDOMAIN value to /etc/amandapass,
and test without the "-W MYDOMAIN" option for smbclient, of course.
