I believe that the fix you need is to edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl. There are three strings:
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd}, and $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd} which control Samba backups and restore. In all three strings remove the "-N" flag. My understanding that the flag is no longer needed, because the login prompt is automatically suppressed because backuppc passes the password through the PASSWD environment variable. I reported separately a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297025) in the new version of smbclient that prevents this password from being passed if the -N flag is used. Let me know if this doesn't work. -- after backuppc server upgrade from hardy to intrepid, windows backups all fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
