Nothing is different other than the hostname of the system and the  
password assigned.  These systems are build cookie-cutter.

You don't get it.  I can't figure out how this is supposed to work  
because it requires libraries that I can't find any documentation for  
on the internet/google AT ALL.  I have requested information on the  
missing libraries and nobody has provided any.

I would happily contribute revised documentation, but I haven't the  
vaguest clue where to find these libraries or how this is supposed to  
work.

So the fact that nobody with a firewall on their network can post to  
the list isn't a problem for you?  Dozens of people have complained,  
and you guys just don't care?

I'm not looking for paid support, I'm looking for ANY support.

I have an apparent misunderstanding that bacula was a ongoing project  
with people who cared about the quality of the product.   I am more  
than happy to contribute to that process - as I have contributed to a  
great many other projects - but I've getting zero support in this.  I  
can't even get a simple answer on what library is used by the  
traceback module so that I can find it, compile it, and get traceback  
working.

FYI: and thanks for being a sarcastic sob.  There's nothing better  
about open source than the fact that you have 10 sobs for every one  
of us who actually does work.
