Hi,
I've installed Bacula 2.2.1 on an Apple Intel Xserve running Mac OS X Server
10.4.10
I am in the process of moving through the Tutorial (Chapter 9 in the User's
Guide) -- I have not touched / edited / modify the default configuration
files. This is a fresh install!
I had hoped to be able to (per Chapter 9), run all of the Bacula daemons as
a non-root user (on my system named admini). The non-root user (admini) has
a different group (gid) than the root user, the group named "staff".
When running the bacula script which starts all of the daemons, I'm
receiving the following error regarding initgroups. I'm trying to track this
down:
admini$ ./bacula start
Starting the Bacula Storage daemon
> 09-Sep 19:44 xserve-sd: ERROR TERMINATION at bsys.c:698
> Could not initgroups for group=staff, userid=admini: ERR=Operation not
> permitted
>
> Starting the Bacula File daemon
> 09-Sep 19:44 xserve-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at bsys.c:698
> Could not initgroups for group=staff, userid=admini: ERR=Operation not
> permitted
>
> Starting the Bacula Director daemon
> 09-Sep 19:44 bacula-dir: ERROR TERMINATION at bsys.c:698
> Could not initgroups for group=staff, userid=admini: ERR=Operation not
> permitted
>
I'll continue to try and track this down to find out what I need to change
on my systems such as privileges of Bacula configuration files and/or
executable files and directories (so that a user with a primary group that
is not the same as a root user's primary group) may run the daemons. Granted
once I'm into production mode, the file daemon will indeed by run as the
root user from what I've grokked of the Bacula documentation.
In the mean time, if anyone has run into this problem before and has any
suggestions, I'd be appreciative (I did a search on the mailing list
archives for the past year on "initgroups" and virtually nothing showed up).
Thank you,
-H
