Pardon me for saying this, but this is the second time you've given this answer and were rebuffed for it the first time: This is a FOOLISH solution. The daemon does not run as root because it does not NEED to run as root. Nothing that does not need root access should run as root, especially if you're internet connected. These days, even things that need root access don't even need root access as many commands can be run through sudo. If something won't start as a non-root user, you need to find out why. All that bacula-dir needs is to own the files that it needs to write to/have appropriate permissions to read the files it needs to read. This goes the same for the -sd, except you must include the /dev/nst, /dev/rmt, or whatever your system feels like calling the tape drive. The - -fd arguable needs to run as root, but only if it is backing up files that a regular user cannot read. Please do NOT give this answer again, as you're inviting people to make their systems less secure than they need be. On an internet-connected system, this is a very irresponsible practice. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGE/ppmb+gadEcsb4RAlHbAJ9cSH4v3L4z3n0ENFUrCfPaYmUSkwCeJKer Az1AED/Md98M17us9RA2ONg= =65Vm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
