I am contemplating writing tool that checks that the information in
/etc/amandapass is correct. I don't think that amcheck actually checks
the shares, at least in 2.4.1p1.
The germ of my idea is the following:
spinoza!backup 252# /g/rcs/sw/bin/smbclient //thalassa/C WRONG_PASSWORD
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password
pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
spinoza!backup 253# echo $?
1
spinoza!backup 254# /g/rcs/sw/bin/smbclient //thalassa/C
CORRECT_PASSWORD
smb: \> exit
spinoza!backup 255# echo $?
0
spinoza!backup 256#
It should be really easy to write a perl script (which I would publish,
of course) which reads the /etc/amandapass file and tests this - but
I wonder if it is necessary to do so or is there another way?
Many thanks,
Jeff
