SYNOPSIS

9       bacula-dir [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents briefly the bacula-dir command.
13       Bacula's  Director  Daemon acts as the controller of the network backup
14       system: it is  responsible  for  scheduling  and  coordinating  backups
15       across the network.
16

OPTIONS

18       -c     Change location to read bacula-dir.conf from (default $CWD)
19
20       -u     Set the username/uid to run as.
21
22       -g     Set the group/gid to run as.
23

TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION

25       Tcpwrappers  looks  for  the  service  name  of  the  bacula daemons in
26       hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is  configured  to
27       be  different  from the binary.  The service names are configured to be
28       %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in  the  bac‐
29       ula-dir.conf.in file)
30
31
32       So  the  hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (server‐
33       name-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
34
35       WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
36
37       bacula-dir: ALL
38
39       you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
40
41       The entry would have to read:
42
43       server-dir: ALL
44
45       and this will allow the console  to  connect  to  the  director.   (The
46       process running is bacula-dir.)
