Hello,
Thanks for everyone's help on Friday with password issue I've corrected that issue

I didn't follow that thread, but...

moved on. I'm now getting an error when I try and run the status client. I have changed all the password to match but when I try and run the status client here is my error message. Does anyone have an idea.
...
*status client
Automatically selected Client: ninja3-fd
Connecting to Client ninja3-fd at ninja3:9102
Failed to connect to Client ninja3-fd.

I assume that, after the above command, you get a message about an authentication problem, right?

Anyway, try the following.

I assume that ninja3 is the machine both the DIR and the FD run on.

Sitting at that machine, use a shell and try

1. ping ninja3

If that doesn't work, you've got a name resolution problem. Basically, you have to make sure that the name you put into bacula-dir.conf actually corresponds to the computer you want to talk to. Usually, you would use the normal hostname of your machine, which is reported, for example, with the command 'hostname'.

2. telnet ninja3 9102

If that results in a message like "connection refused" there is no bacula-fd process listening at the port 9102. You have to install and configure the FD then, or check and re-check your firewall settings. For example, ninja3 would have to allow connections to port 9102 from the local host itself. If you've got bacula compiled with support for TCP wrappers, you should also verify the settings in /etc/hosts.allow and ...deny. See 'man tcpd' and 'man 5 host_access' for more information.

If the telnet results in a message like "Connected... escape character..." then your passwords between DIR and FD are probably not set up correctly. You should compare the configuration files and the corresponding notes in the manual, then. In the FD configuration, you need to look at the Director section and check that Name and Password correspond to what you have set in your bacula-dir.conf.

Hope that helps you some more,

Arno
