On this matter; adding the password to the RunBeforeJob line causes my database password to appear on the status emails: 24-Oct 13:09 fs01-dir: BeforeJob: run command "/etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula MyPasswordHere" Status emails are sent in clear text across our network. Is there a recommended solution to include sensitive variables in the config files without exposing them like this?
