/usr/ports/misc/amanda24 question re: smbclient support

[Gerald T. Freymann]

Still on my rebuilding/update kick... the latest box is our tape backup
server..

Running FreeBSD me.foo.bar 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20
13:02:55 GMT 2000 j...@bento.Free
BSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386

I went into /usr/ports/misc/amanda24 to get amanda running as the server
again. I did install samba first and it's working fine.

What I needed was the --with-smbclient=/usr/local/bin/smbclient option
enabled, as we use amanda to backup 5 PC's.

I figured I'd be clever, and just edit /usr/ports/misc/amanda24/Makefile
and add the option in there, so it looks like this:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --libexecdir=${PREFIX}/libexec/amanda \
--with-amandahosts --with-fqdn \
--with-dump-honor-nodump \
--with-smbclient=/usr/local/bin/smbclient \
--with-user=operator --with-group=operator

Now, I've done a "make && make install" and have the config files, user,
services, inetd, passwords, directories and all that stuff running fine.
I'm running the "amcheck host" command and it's timing out

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: amanda: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 30.165 seconds, 1 problem found.

As near as I can figure, it's timing out on all the smbclient shares...

I've run "/usr/local/bin/smbclient -U samba -L peeceename" entered the
password, and get a list of resources fine.

Anyway to confirm smbclient support has been enabled? Is there a better
place to add the --with-smbclient option.

Thanks.

Gerry.
