Package: smbclient
Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny2
Severity: normal
Same bug as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447820
As described there, it looks like smbclient no longer reads $PASSWD if
the -N option is specified. This causes backups to fail if the share
requires a password. BackupPC's XferLOG reports:
Getting files newer than Fri Apr 24 03:44:23 2009
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[XXXXXX] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Removing -N from the smbclient options in the BackupPC configuration
file fixes this.
