I think I found a small typo/problem with BackupPC_dump in the 2.0.0beta1
and the current (as of 2003/4/10 about 16:00 PDT) CVS tree. The symptom is
that *no* DHCP backups start. You can submit a request for a manual backup,
and it will say that it was accepted, but nothing happens - no error is
logged either.
A little investigating shows that one line should have a variable change
from "$host" to "$client". This fixed it for our site. Here is a patch:
diff -c BackupPC_dump BackupPC_dump.dist
*** BackupPC_dump Thu Apr 10 15:43:31 2003
--- BackupPC_dump.dist Thu Apr 10 15:43:14 2003
***************
*** 123,129 ****
exit(1) if ( $bpc->CheckHostAlive($hostIP) < 0
|| $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} eq "" );
($client, $user) = $bpc->NetBiosInfoGet($hostIP);
! exit(1) if ( $client !~ /^([\w\.\s-]+)$/ );
$Hosts = $bpc->HostInfoRead($client);
exit(1) if ( !defined($Hosts->{$client}) );
$host = $client;
--- 123,129 ----
exit(1) if ( $bpc->CheckHostAlive($hostIP) < 0
|| $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} eq "" );
($client, $user) = $bpc->NetBiosInfoGet($hostIP);
! exit(1) if ( $host !~ /^([\w\.\s-]+)$/ );
$Hosts = $bpc->HostInfoRead($client);
exit(1) if ( !defined($Hosts->{$client}) );
$host = $client;
Thanks. Yes, this is definitely a bug and your fix looks good.
Since 2.0.0 now supports multicast nmblookup you (usually) don't need
to use the dhcp feature. It will continue to be supported, but I didn't
retest it for 2.0.0.
Thanks again,
Craig
