Sorry - meant to reply to the list too.

Can we see your bacula-dir.conf and bconsole.conf files?

Cheers,
Dominic

Sorry - should have given more info...

iptables turned off at this point. No delays (i.e. dns)

as for syslog and dmesg... I've cleaned up the issue of /var/bacula
where 'group' bacula wasn't given write permissions, which kept
bacula-dir from starting up and I have this message in dmesg which I
think might be harmless...

st0: MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root.

since the btape tests passed.

Hi Craig,

In what way does "it not connect"? Is there a long delay, followed by an
error message? If there's an error message, what is it? Any messages in the
log (dmesg)? Is there any filtering of IP (eg. Iptables)?

Subject: [Bacula-users] struggling getting started


newbie alert...

installed 1.38-5 (built rpm from src rpm on CentOS-4)

NOTE: /var/bacula wasn't created as writable by group bacula which had
to be fixed before I could get bacula-dir to start.

Working through the 'getting started' instructions...

Anyway, I am trying to connect with bconsole and it can't connect.

I edited the passwords within bacula-dir.conf bacula-sd.conf
bconsole.conf so they are the same and restarted all of the bacula
daemons.

Still the same issue.

So I changed the bacula-dir.conf and bconsole.conf to use the fqdn for
their 'Address' even though I get reverse dns lookup for either short
name or fqdn, restarted all the bacula daemons and still bconsole can't
authenticate to the Director.

I know that the director is running...as I stated above, I fixed that.

I think I have exhausted my understanding of the documentation
'AuthenticationErrors' FAQ

anybody have suggestions?

Thanks

Craig
