Hello, I am trying to use smbclient to create a backup using tar. I run the command: smbclient \\wizard\backup XXX -U backup -E -d0 -Tc - > wizard.tar Smbclient ran fine, but when I tried to check it using Solaris tar: tar tvf wizard.tar It listed most of the file, and then gave the error message: tar: directory checksum error Checking it with gnutar gives: tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The file wizard.tar is 163Mb. I am running Samba 2.0.0 on Solaris 2.4, but I also saw the problem on 1.9.18. -- Tom Schutter (mailto:tom@platte.com) Platte River Associates, Inc.
