Thanks for the help. However, when I am following through the example you gave me. ACA I updated the /etc/amandapass and I have created a domain account with admin privileges. Yet, when I run the command smbclient /etc/amandapass //machine_name/c$ user%passwd mydomain I get the following error message: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Any idea why and how to debug it?

To test this with smbclient, do: smbclient '//homeros/d$' -U 'amanda%secret' -W MYDOMAIN And you should get the "smb: >"-prompt, and type e.g. "dir" to list the files. If you add on each PC a local user instead of the domain user, then you should not add the MYDOMAIN value to /etc/amandapass, and test without the "-W MYDOMAIN" option for smbclient, of course. -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, F6, * * quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
