Les

Sorry for using this channel, but I have tried to disconnect myself from
this forum. I do not want to receive mails anymore from backuppc.

I forgot the user name and password to unsubscribe.

Any Help?

I think that is a network-layer error, not a failure to authenticate.  The
way 
to test a connection to an rsync in daemon mode is to use double :'s from
the 
command line rsync like "rsync [options] host::module".  If you don't give a

destination, you should get a directory listing.

The default smb method using smbclient should have worked if automounting
works 
- but it might be handy to have automounting set up for other purposes.
