Howdy all,

I'm having a problem getting Bacula 1.36.3 to work on my FreeBSD 5.4 system. I've installed both /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server and /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-client on the machine, created a MySQL database and user, populated the tables, and customized the bconsole.conf file to include the same password as the bacula-dir.conf file, and then fired bacula up by running /usr/local/etc/rc.d/z-bacula.sh.sample start. I then run the bconsole program, and immediately get back:

# bconsole -c /usr/local/etc/bconsole.conf
Connecting to Director 192.168.123.80:9101
18-Sep 21:58 bconsole: Fatal error: bnet.c:209 Packet size too big from "Director daemon:192.168.123.80:9101. Terminating connection.
Director authorization problem.
Most likely the passwords do not agree.
Please see http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for help.
ERR=

I am sure the password and name of the director are correctly specified in bconsole.conf and bacula-dir.conf.

When I try to run the director in the foreground with the debug level kicked up, here's what I get:

# /usr/local/sbin/bacula-dir -f -d99 -u bacula -g bacula -v -c /usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf
bacula-dir: dird.c:131 Debug level = 99
bacula-dir: mysql.c:141 mysql_init done
bacula-dir: mysql.c:161 mysql_real_connect done
bacula-dir: mysql.c:163 db_user=bacula db_name=bacula db_password=xxxxx

Then, nothing from the director until I try and connect from bconsole, at which point it just drops me back to my prompt. No mail is sent to root@, only the bconsole error is logged in my syslog, and no log file is created, so I'm sort of puzzled with where to go next.

Is this a been-there, done-that kind of problem? I briefly looked over the archives and asked Google, but to no avail.

Any troubleshooting help you can offer would be appreciated.

Regards,

Josh
