No, you can use whatever user you want. It goes before the '%' in
/etc/amandapass.

I've "enhanced" the logging in the latest sources. But I doubt that
will help much in your case.

Ummmm, if this basic connection won't work, Amanda is certainly not
going to be any better.
So the question is, why the timeout? I tried some experiments:
* Connecting to a share with the wrong password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a
Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
* Connecting to a bad (non-existant) share but with the right password:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.)
* Connecting to a share I don't have permission for:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.)
* Connecting to a machine not running SMB:
error connecting to 128.210.135.25:139 (Connection refused)
Not a timeout in the bunch. So it looks to me like you have some general
Samba/Win2000 issues (or maybe a firewall???) to work out before throwing
Amanda into the mix. But I'm getting in way over my head at this point.
