Hi Mark, There was a recent, i.e. within the last three weeks or so, discussion on the bacula-devel list, about the 'standards' compliance of the base-64 encoding in the Bacula source tree.
Kern Sibbald agreed that there was a bug in the implementation in the Bacula source, which made it partially incompatible with standards conforming decoding tools. There is (allegedly!) a missing bit-mask operation which results in extra bits being included in the encoding process, or something along those lines! As is common: consult the source! (specifically: $BACULA_DIR/src/lib/base64.[ch]) Regards, Howard Thomson -- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -- Albert Einstein ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
