Description Alternativend 2016-04-19 07:59:24 UTC 
Hello folks,
i have a quite huge problem with the smbclient and my backup software AMANDA since the badlock update. Im running several Amanda servers on Debian which is now shipping Samba 4.2.10. Everything worked fine since 4.1.17, but now im getting error messages like this:


FAILED DUMP DETAILS:
  /-- BACKUP02 //DC03/PUBLIC lev 0 FAILED [/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'hdrcharset']
  sendbackup: info BACKUP=APPLICATION
  sendbackup: info APPLICATION=amsamba
  sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/lib/amanda/application/amsamba restore [./file-to-restore]+

  sendbackup: info end
  ? smbclient: Error reading password from file descriptor 5: empty password
  ? smbclient:

  ? smbclient: tar:370  tar_process failed
  ? smbclient returned error
  ? Application (16495) amsamba returned 1


Well i hope this is the right place to report this issue and we can do something about it. If you need any additional informations about this let me know.

Thanks!

There where a lot of changes between 4.1 and 4.2 regarding tar support.

You may also want to file a bug in the debian bugzilla and cross reference
them.

Hi,
i have done that (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821801).

Anyone who can have a look into this? I think it has to be fixed here at Samba, right?

I have upgraded my system now to Debian Stretch which comes with Samba 4.4.

Here are some tries i have made:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

ERROR: MYSERVER: smbclient: WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
ERROR: MYSERVER: smbclient: Error reading password from file descriptor 3: empty password

As you can see this command runs fine.

backup@MYSERVER:/home/backup$ smbclient "\\\\MYSERVER2\\Backup$" -U backup -E -W GSN2.local -Tc  Ziel.tar
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated

Maybe someone can tell more about the error we get here and can give some tips on how to avoid.
