TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION

50       Tcpwrappers  looks  for  the  service  name  of  the  bacula daemons in
51       hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is  configured  to
52       be  different  from the binary.  The service names are configured to be
53       %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in  the  bac‐
54       ula-dir.conf.in file)
55
56
57       So  the  hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (server‐
58       name-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
59
60       WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
61
62       bacula-dir: ALL
63
64       you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
65
66       The entry would have to read:
67
68       server-dir: ALL
69
70       and this will allow the console  to  connect  to  the  director.   (The
71       process running is bacula-dir.)
