Howdy all,
I'm trying to setup BoxBackup 0.11 rc2 on Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and
I'm just not having much luck. I'm sure I've done something silly, but I
can't figure out my mistake.

Right now I have one client (192.168.2.100) and one server (192.168.2.50),
both of which are running 0.11rc2 on Gutsy. When I run the client I get a
connection error:

---snip---

08:57:56 NOTICE: File statistics: total file size uploaded 0, bytes already

---snip---

Meanwhile, I'm monitoring syslog on the server, but absolutely nothing
happens. It appears the client isn't making it that far.

---snip---

I know the server is accessible, since I can SSH into it. I'm not positive
the bbstored daemon is actually listening on the specified port (2201) and I
don't know how to verify that.

My client config looks like the following (comments removed):

---/etc/boxbackup/bbackup.conf---
StoreHostname = 192.168.2.50
AccountNumber = 0x1106
KeysFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/1106-FileEncKeys.raw
CertificateFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/1106-cert.pem
PrivateKeyFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/1106-key.pem
TrustedCAsFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/serverCA.pem
DataDirectory = /var/lib/bbackupd/
NotifyScript = /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/NotifySysadmin.sh
AutomaticBackup = no
UpdateStoreInterval = 0
MinimumFileAge = 0
MaxUploadWait = 0
FileTrackingSizeThreshold = 65535
DiffingUploadSizeThreshold = 8192
MaximumDiffingTime = 120
ExtendedLogging = yes
CommandSocket = /var/lib/bbackupd/bbackupd.sock
Server
{
    PidFile = /var/lib/bbackupd/bbackupd.pid
}
BackupLocations
{
    home-
    {
        Path = /home/
        ExcludeFilesRegex = .(mp3|MP3|ogg|OGG|avi|AVI)
        ExcludeDir = /home/sean/mount
        ExcludeDir = /home/sean/smb4k
    }
    etc-
    {
        Path = /etc/
    }
}
---end---

My server configuration looks like the following (with comments removed):

---/etc/boxbackup/bbstored.conf---
RaidFileConf = /etc/boxbackup/raidfile.conf
AccountDatabase = /etc/boxbackup/bbstored/accounts.txt
TimeBetweenHousekeeping = 900
Server
{
    PidFile = /var/run/bbstored.pid
    User = bbstored
    ListenAddresses = inet:frodo
    CertificateFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbstored/frodo-cert.pem
    PrivateKeyFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbstored/frodo-key.pem
    TrustedCAsFile = /etc/boxbackup/bbstored/clientCA.pem
}
---end---

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!.

-Sean
