Hello everybody! I installed Samba 1.9.16p11 on a SGI box running IRIX 6.2, which is now transparent to our NT and Win95 boxes. So far, so good... The problem comes when I try to implement smbtar in a cronjob to create backups in a regular basis, telling the cronfile in the Onyx where to take the data from and where to put it to (i.e.: to a .tgz file) I try following: prompt> smbtar -v -s dolores -x tmp -t test.tar -u martin where dolores is a Win95 box, tmp is the share, test.tar is the file that I expect to come out and martin is the user name (mine, to be exact). The file test.tar comes out indeed but it's 0 bytes long. With such a lenght I guess something goes wrong :) Furthermore, I get such error message: server is dolores share is tmp\ tar args is tape is test.tar blocksize is Added interface ip=192.1.1.21 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=PUTA destname=DOLORES Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of DOLORES) You may find the -I option useful for this Maybe is there anybody out there who has dealt with such a (stupid) problem before, or it could happen that I'm overseing the obvious... :-/ Even if you post your answers to the list, please send me a personal email. Thank you very much in advance! Martin Mielke -- Martin Mielke martin@jaleo.idecnet.com Jaleo Crew - SysAdm voice: ++34 (9)28 262299
