[CentOS] Samba/BackupPC under CentOS-5.3
I'm almost completely ignorant about samba on Windows machines, In particular I know nothing about Windows permissions, if that is relevant here. I am running BackupPC on a CentOS-5.3 machine. It works perfectly for backing up Linux folders, but I have great difficulty extending it to Windows clients. To be precise, I have a share called "EA Games D" on a machine running Windows XP Pro. I can access it through Samba: - m...@rose ~]$ sudo mount -t cifs harriet:"EA Games D" /mnt/win Password: [...@rose ~]$ ls /mnt/win The Sims 2 - But I do not seem able to back it up with BackupPC . In my BackupPC conf file for harriet I have under Smb Settings "EA Games D" But when I run a backup (incremental or full) I get the error in /var/log/BackupPC/LOG 2009-10-17 14:43:43 Got fatal error during xfer (tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well it does not seem to be a CentOS or Windows firewall issue since you can mount the share via command line. Are you specifying a your username (tim) and windows password in the pc configuration in BackupPC? You probably would be getting a different error message if those were not entered or were wrong, but just to cover the bases because I have DOH moments and forget such things. The other option is to specify the IP address as "ClientNameAlias" if the windows system has a static IP. If the IP address is not statically mapped you may have look at using the DHCP settings and specify that the host is a DHCP host. Hope some of this may help, I just setup BackupPC and had two windows boxes (Windows 2000) that I wanted to backup with it and had no issues.

They must show what steps were taken to reach zero. And then they must be evaluated to see if those steps could have been mitigated. A call for all hackers does not usually get that. 2) Network penetrations need to be done to make sure that you do not violate your SLA with your network provider or cause problems with other customers on that network. It also may violate various laws and statutes of where the co-location is at. 3) While "To catch a thief" is a nice movie.. you are probably not going to run into a Cary Grant type. It is more like you are going to down to a seedy bar in the docks and yelling out "Hey I need someone to rob my house to see if the security system I bought works, and I have a bunch of money on me to pay you." 4) It has become a common ploy to get people to attack another person's network by registering that they 'own' the space etc. Everyone from Russian gangs to local police use it at one point or another. Professional security people who aren't looking to spend time in prison will make sure that there is a legitimate contract in place and that the client is aware of the various risks involved. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

[CentOS] Caught between a Red Hat and a CentOS
Interesting column at CNET... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10376762-16.html ~~ "Novell has been positioning itself as the Avis of Linux, a distant but gaining Red Hat competitor that "tries harder." Like Oracle, Novell argues that it can give customers Red Hat value at a lower price. "There's just one problem with this marketing spin: the "low-cost alternative" to Red Hat isn't Novell. It's CentOS. And CentOS is free as in $0.00. "It's true that adoption of unpaid Linux like CentOS is booming, and that this no-cost alternative to more expensive solutions like Red Hat is a real threat to Red Hat. This is no doubt why Red Hat has made "free-to-paid" a core element of its ongoing strategy, as related in its recent earnings call. "But it's a much bigger threat to Novell and Oracle, both of whom are trying to position themselves as cheaper alternatives to Red Hat Enterprise Linux." ~~ I wonder if Red Hat has ever considered limited, paid support options for CentOS? -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
