Oh... I don't agree here. I mean, I'm running the DIR as root, but this
is on a machine dedicated to running Bacula, no user access, no access
from beyond my firewall, not even any user accounts that could log into it.
Generally, for security reasons, it's a good idea to run all services as
non-root user.
In fact I do know for sure that Bacula can run as non-root user, both on
linux and on FreeBSD.
You should make sure the acount the DIR tries to run as exists, and can
access all the vital locations the DIR needs to access. These include
the working directory and configuration files, and it is possible I
forgot others :-)

The t options means a test of the configuration. It will not actually
run the DIR as a daemon.
