Yeah, I'll put that on my to do list, to report the bugs. It turned out that getting partimaged to start was only the beginning of my journey. To make a very long story slightly shorter, the partimage client and partimaged server have to be exactly the same version, and be compiled with the same login and ssl settings - you can't select at run-time whether to require, allow or disallow logins, they are either required or not allowed, and this is selected at compile time. The ssl part also seems to be broken. But to be fair to the partimage team, they clearly state that this is alpha software, especially the network support. The partimage on the system rescue cd is version 0.6.4, compiled with login and ssl disabled. Since I can't change this, this is what I have to work with. The package from Mandriva is also 0.6.4, but is compiled with login and ssl enabled, so there is no way to make these work together. The latest stable version of partimage available as source is 0.6.5, which also won't work with the system rescue cd, regardless of the compile options, because of the version mismatch. Finally, on sourceforge I was able to find source for 0.6.4, configure it as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-login --disable-ssl And start up a partimaged server that the system rescue cd partimage client can connect to. I also had to open up tcp port 4025 on shorewall to allow them to connect. With ssl disabled, all that stuff with broken/missing ssl scripts goes away. Of course, they warn you that disabling ssl opens up a big security hole, so only do it on a trusted network. But I don't plan on running image backups over the internet anyway, and those ports are still safely closed on my main ipcop firewall (yes, I'm paranoid). So finally, very late last night, I got it to work. Woohoo! If anyone wants it, I have the rpm built by checkinstall. -- These are my opinions. Get your own. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
