Scott, I hope you don't mind but I'm taking this back to the list, I
really would like as many folks looking at this as possible, and if we
figure it out the solution should end up in the list archive.

Database=bacula User=bacula It is probably not running or your password is incorrect. 07-Nov 23:52 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf Note that it's trying to run as bacula. Earlier you suggested I do "psql bacula" as user postgresql, but I see here that it's not trying to run as user postgresql. So I tried to do that from that account, but "su bacula" was disallowed as the user doesn't have shell access: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# cat /etc/passwd | grep bacula bacula:x:100:6:Bacula:/var/bacula:/sbin/nologin However, switching the bacula shell from /sbin/nologin to /bin/bash (the same as user postgresql) did not change the behavior, so I restored it to how the RPMs created it. it did allow me to do the "psql bacula" wtihout error, but the director still failed with exactly the same message. In bacula-dir.conf is the declaration dbname = bacula; user = bacula; password = "" I used the PostgreSQL admin section of Webmin to set a password for the user and entered it in bacula-dir.conf, but there was no change in behavior.
