Hi Turbo, The easiest way to do this is have the bacula user on the client set up to allow a login shell of a specific script. You also will need to give the bacula user a home directory (maybee /var/backups).
do something like this in /etc/passwd on the client bacula:x:<UID_NUMBER>:65534::/bar/backup:/usr/local/sbin/bacula_client_runbefore.sh then set up ssh key based authentication by generating ssh keys for the bacula user on the client and the server, then adding the public key of the bacula user on the server to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for the bacula user on the client. Then on the server your RunBefore script is simply: #!/bin/bash ssh <client> Cheers, Silas Bennett =0) btw, Turbo thanks for the Debian LDAP Kerberos how to. I have found it useful even though it is a bit dated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Turbo Fredriksson Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 2:34 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob && Hosts (Was: <job> is waiting for its start time) >>>>> "Turbo" == Turbo Fredriksson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Turbo> This is weird...

I discovered when I checked the log file (it was scrolling past so fast that I didn't see it before) that it's because the RunBeforeJob wasn't found. This script doesn't (and SHOULDN'T) exist on the DIR, only on the FD. That is, I'd like a script be executed on the _client_ prior to start feeding data to the FD... Is this possible? I thought the 'RunBeforeJob' was supposed to do just that. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
