Somehow the binary version and the src.rpm are out of step. The src.rpm (quite rightly) enables samba. The binary version does not have samba enabled. This was determined by examining the source code for the client and finding that the only place a certain error message can have come from was inside some hash defines that meant that SAMBA_CLIENT was not set. It was further confirmed by rebuilding the src.rpm with no changes (other than release) and then finding that the samba feature now works. Hope this helps Andy M
How do you check if it's enabled or not?
# strings /usr/lib/amanda/sendbackup | fgrep smbclient /usr/bin/smbclient smbclient If you try this on the one out of the current rawhide rpm, you get nothing. Hope this helps Andy M
Thanks - fixed in amanda-2.4.2p1-3.
Cool ! That was quick :) Cheers
