I rather like this idea. ~/.bacula is useful -- as an example, it would give the operator somewhere to store their x509 client certificates, if they are using TLS. - -landonf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDBS9UlplZCE/15mMRAoTJAJ9EPtYNwX6+qC1Ro8f7yh4iktKeAACeJQKv 2kqiTvTl+CayOAI50tAL4Kc= =SmL2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- 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
