Ya, I'm not happy with this situation at all, plus I've owned this router for over a year now. Unfortunately, the Linksys router I purchased is perhaps the most commonly advertised wireless router for nationwide chains. That's why I spent the extra time to nail down the issue, in case any other Bacula /Linksys users run into the same problem. >Also isn't Linksys one of the companies that is/was in violation of the GPL >(i.e. using GPLed software without making the source available)? I don't know about that. But I believe Linksys did release the source code for their version 1-4 WRT54G routers, which allowed hobbyists to make their own Linux based firmwares. And Linksys still makes an "L" series, specifically so that people who want to load their own Linux based firmwares can still continue to do so. Unfortunately, I picked up a v5, which has some open source solutions to it, but they're a bit scarier to implement. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Seeing that I have hundreds of open source project emails I need to respond to, I really do appreciate that you jumped right in and answered mine :) Brad Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Brad Peterson > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Brad Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 3:00:03 PM > Subject: [Bacula-users] Director losing socket with SD > > First, my request: Is there anything in Bacula I can do to keep the socket > between the director and the storage daemon alive? > > Now, my explanation why I need this.
