My whole problem as far as samba was concerned was not compiling with DES support *and* that I did compile with FAST_SHARE_MODES. One clue was this in the samba.log. file. I then did a dejanews search for smb_shm_open and came up with that portion of the solution. ERROR smb_shm_open : mmap failed with code 11 The DES portion came from just reading the WinNT.txt file that came with Samba. I can now connect to my Win95 machines and WinNT machines, though it made no mention that this was for "security=server". I can only back up the WinNT machines with SAMBA at this time. I'm looking into what could be keeping the size from showing up for the Win95 machines. Disk sizes for both are the same. /var/amanda/libexec/sendsize: version 2.3.0.5 calculating for amname '//eoporto-dt/backup', dirname '//eoporto-dt/backup' sendsize: getting size via dump for //eoporto-dt/backup level 0 sendsize: running "/usr/local/pkgs/samba/bin/smbclient \\eoporto-dt\backup XXXXX -U backup -W WARREN -c archive 0;recurse;dir" .....
