hi --
i recently did a fresh install of 3.0.0. i have no PCs in my
network, and the machine has no samba software installed on it.
backuppc complains about smbclient and nmblookup being missing,
and refuses to run, though i have no use for either one. i.e.:
# /etc/init.d/backuppc restart
Restarting backuppc: 2007-11-02 12:11:33 $Conf{SmbClientPath} =
'/usr/bin/smbclient' is not a valid executable program
my workaround was to set those paths to /bin/cat. (experimenting
just now, it seems i could also have set them to null.)
in contrast, i also didn't have File::RsyncP installed (which i
needed for one host -- mostly i use tar), and that error didn't
show up until i tried to run a backup for that host, and the
error was reported right in the host summary status box for that
host. this seems like the preferable failure mode, to me.
