I suggest another option. Find out what permissions exist on the changer/tape drive and adjust bacula to suit that. I advise against running as root if you have other options. For example, on FreeBSD, we do this: $ grep bacula /etc/group operator:*:5:root,bacula Why? Because of this: $ ls -l /dev/sa0 crw-rw---- 4 root operator 14, 0 Mar 13 2005 /dev/sa0 The operater has access to the tape drive. I *seem* to recall I might have had to do a chmod g+w on that device. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
