Hi,

I noticed that Amanda is not compiled with Samba/smbclient support 
(amdump/amcheck gives me an error message saying that "This client is 
not configured for samba"/"SMBCLIENT program not available").

The fact is that the amanda configure script check the Samba version 
with the smbclient command. So, if the smbclient command is not 
installed on the compiling machine, then the configure script will 
silently disable samba support, even if you specify 
`--with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient'.

So, the solution is to install samba-client on the compiling machine, 
and perhaps add a "BuildRequires: samba-client" in `amanda.spec'.

Regards,
Jérôme Augé
