Hi,

The emailed reports are huge, because they include full file listings of the
samba shares.

According to the patches page on amanda.org, the samba2-20000418.diff patch will
"Update for Amanda's Samba support so that it auto-detects Samba 2+ at configure
time and uses its new features." In the file itself, it claims to enable the
"'-q' quiet option to smbclient." I'm using samba version 2.0.6 (displayed when
I type 'smbd').

I'm using FreeBSD ports system to work with the amanda 2.4.1p1 application. I
put the samba2-20000418.diff file into the /files directory of the skeleton, and
built the app.

But my reports still have monstrous lists of files in them.

The problem could be one of two things, I think:

1. The patch isn't getting put in properly. Was there something else I had to do
other than merely move the file into the /files directory of the skeleton? This
patch modifies the "configure" file, but it seems to me that it should still
work fine.

2. The -q option is available for the smbclient commands, but I was supposed to
do something else to actually enable it.

Any advice is appreciated! --- Eric
