samba - Mar 1999 - Amanda and Samba 2.0.3

Hi Folks,

I want to use samba and amanda to backup NT/win file system. I downloaded
the latest version of Samba and trying to install on bsdi4.0 and it
complains that the OS is a "trapdoor" OS and will not work propperly.
I
installed it anyway and I can connect to NT no problem but when I connect
it back to the unix box, it complains about "Bad password - name/password
in a Tree connect" I believe this is something to do with the
"trapdoor"
issue. However, older version works just fine. Is there anyway to fix it?
Is the BSDI really a "trapdoor" OS. 

Thanks 

Daniel

This usually means you've enabled encrypted passwords but haven't
created /etc/smbpasswd

But you don't have to connect to the Unix box's smbd in order to
perform backups with Amanda.  It would only use smbclient to connect
to MS-Windows hosts.

I don't know what this ``trapdoor'' thing means.
