TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION

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