I've got a setup that's fairly simple: a bacula director, sd, and fd on a debian box, and an fd on a remote windows box (that is, it's not even on the LAN). The relevant sections of the config file are:
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf (on the "server"): Director { Name = ptnv-dir DIRport = 9101 QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql" WorkingDirectory = "/var/bacula/working" PidDirectory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 Password = "jveb**IGHappe" Messages = Daemon } Client { Name = carlos-fd Address = 66.100.53.72 FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = "jveb**IGHappe" File Retention = 30 days Job Retention = 6 months AutoPrune = yes } Storage { Name = File Address = [externally resolvable ip address of localhost - not 127.0.0.1] SDPort = 9103 Password = "jveb**IGHappe" Device = FileStorage Media Type = File } F:\\bacula\\bin\\bacula-fd.conf (on the client, a windows machine not on the LAN of the server) Director { Name = ptnv-dir Password = "jveb**IGHappe" } FileDaemon { Name = carlos-fd FDport = 9102 WorkingDirectory = /bacula/working Pid Directory = /bacula/working Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } The director connects fine to the sd (I know this as it spits no errors, and local backups - that is to say, backups where the fd is on the same machine are the director - work perfectly fine). However, trying to run a job on carlos-fd fails with: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon. Possible causes: Passwords or names not the same or Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or FD networking messed up (restart daemon). I've checked the docs (though not the list archive, apologies - gmane was behaving strangely earlier), and I'm thoroughly at a loss. Any suggestions? Any extra info I need to post?
