Gerald, have a look at your /sbin/e-smith/backup and compare
it to the one shown below. It looks like you have not installed
the latest e-smith-backup-1.2.0-11.noarch.rpm from e-smith.
Go get this update and install it:
rpm -Uvh e-smith-backup-1.2.0-11.noarch.rpm
Then do either a:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /sbin/e-smith/backup
- or-
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
Check the /sbin/e-smith/backup again. Also note the rights
on the file as I've noticed that sometimes the execute right
gets dropped. Possible BUG report?
The rights should be 554 (r-xr-xr--) I believe.
chmod 554 /sbin/e-smith/backup
Launch a backup and give it test.
Regards,
Darrell
