Yep. The bacula-client RPM on the client system. There are some comments in the SPEC file changelog to the effect bacula-rescue was added/removed a few times and searching through the SPEC it appears bacula-rescue's obseleted by either bacula-client or bacula-mysql (and sqlite and postgresql) depending which you require. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qf /etc/bacula/rescue/ bacula-client-1.38.5-4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qil bacula-client | grep rescue /etc/bacula/rescue /etc/bacula/rescue/Makefile /etc/bacula/rescue/Makefile.in [snip] /etc/bacula/rescue/linux/cdrom/bacula/bin/bacula-fd It's in the RPM seemingly! Aha! It's there on one of the other hosts, so I must've deleted it on my initial test host by stupidly doing a "make clean" or something at some stage. > If that is the case, then there is something wrong with the spec file when it > builds the rescue code.

A "make clean" to get me back to the starting point got me further back than that by cleaning up the bacula/bin dir. > Hmmm.

Yep, there's a 0 byte rpm_release in /etc/bacula/rescue/linux/cdrom. > Given the problems you were having I assumed you had loaded from source, but > it looks like the rpm is broken.

I'll remove and reinstall the RPM on my test host and go from there. Thanks for the help!
