Hi, We're using BackupPC to run the backups for our office network over samba.
The problem we have is that a lot of users are on wireless and wired connections and roam about the building. This means that each machine can have 2 ip addresses assigned, one of which may or may not work at any point in time. Using "nmblookup <laptopname>" returns 2 ip addresses and samba always just tries to use the 1st one, which sometimes doesn't work. I have written a shell script to return the active ip address for a machine name (loops round the ip addresses and checks for a successful ping). Does anyone know of a way of either getting samba to try both addresses or getting backuppc to use my script to find the machine names?
