bacula-dir(8) - Linux man page
Name
bacula-dir - Bacula Director
Synopsis
bacula-dir [options]
Description
This manual page documents briefly the bacula-dir command.
Bacula's Director Daemon acts as the controller of the network backup system: it is responsible for scheduling and coordinating backups across the
network.
Options
- -c
Change location to read bacula-dir.conf from (default $CWD)
-u
Set the username/uid to run as.
-g
Set the group/gid to run as.
Tcp-wrappers Configuration
Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bacula daemons in hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is configured to be different from the binary. The service names are configured to be %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in the bacula-dir.conf.in file)
So the hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (servername-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
bacula-dir: ALL
you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
The entry would have to read:
server-dir: ALL
and this will allow the console to connect to the director. (The process running is bacula-dir.)
