Under Debian 3.1 (Sarge), I have the following:
$ id bacula
uid=105(bacula) gid=105(bacula) groups=105(bacula),26(tape)
$ ls -l /dev/st1 /dev/nst1
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 129 Mar 14 2002 /dev/nst1
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 1 Mar 14 200 2 /dev/st1
$ ps -u bacula | grep bacula-sd
21857 ? 03:45:23 bacula-sd
I don't remember if I have added bacula to group tape myself or not as I
have later debian-packaged version 1.38.3 of Bacula on my own.
