Note to myself: If I want to have BackupPC running on a Linux-only network with fixed addresses (no DHCP), then I have to set NmbLookupCmd
to an empty string.
So, now that I’ve done it, I guess I could have simply changed my config.pl or pc002.pl from:
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} = '$nmbLookupPath -A $host';
to:
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} = '';

Knowing this earlier would have saved me some hours of work. :-/
