ah, thanks. That was problem #1. FC4 has --- group privileges by default. I could not tweak udev correctly yet. It sets the permissions, but not the group for some reason. Also I learned that it is 'incorrect' to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. The correct way is to create a separate file with a lower number in the file name. Ie '40-bacula.rules'. I will post one as soon as I get it working. Is there a chance to get udev rules shipped with the Fedora RPM Packages? Problem #2 was that 'mtx' is located in /usr/sbin, which is not in the default PATH of the 'bacula' user. I fixed that straight in mtx-changer for now. Problem #3 were the privileges of mtx-changer itself. That was likely because of me playing around... it did a lot FULLs this weekend with a lot of tape switching. Looks all good now. thanks for the help, Stephan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
