I think this is a packaging issue, but not quite. When creating a vendor package, one has the ability to shuffle files around into what makes sense for that particular distro. However one thing that _has_ bothered me is that when running bconsole, it does not by default look at /etc/bacula/ for a bconsole.conf file. So when I run it I have to manually point to the config file with -c. Current directory is viewed for a conf file, it just makes sense to me that the /etc/bacula/ directory would be checked too. So perhaps this change could be piggybacked on as well? -- Jesse Keating GameHouse -- Systems Engineer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
