TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION

44       Tcpwrappers  looks  for  the  service  name  of  the  bacula daemons in
45       hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is  configured  to
46       be  different  from the binary.  The service names are configured to be
47       %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in  the  bac‐
48       ula-dir.conf.in file)
49
50
51       So  the  hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (server‐
52       name-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
53
54       WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
55
56       bacula-dir: ALL
57
58       you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
59
60       The entry would have to read:
61
62       server-dir: ALL
63
64       and this will allow the console  to  connect  to  the  director.   (The
65       process running is bacula-dir.)
