Amanda 2.3.0.5-Samba 1.9.16p11 PC backups...

[Ian Crakanthorp]

Have you run smbclient manually?  You will be able to narrow down
if it is SAMBA or AMANDA.  And did you patch SAMBA with the amanda
patch to the SAMBA distribution (And I mean a patch to SAMBA not to AMANDA)
It is at the Web site at umd.  You need this patch or no estimate will
be found.
