Right... I think I've done that... over and over again I've double and triple checked it.
Okay, here we go with the specifics. $ cat /etc/bacula/tray-monitor.conf # # Bacula Tray Monitor Configuration File # Monitor { Name = bacula-mon Password = "4rTwfHAmE80IhecI0kFqLMo0eYFhrGl13" # password for the Directors RefreshInterval = 300 seconds } Client { Name = bacula-fd Address = bacula FDPort = 9102 Password = "bvfHxDTjmM2sQBCwnt8pjOlUPm30kx3HqsgOc" # password for FileDaemon } ### Note that the host with the dir doesn't have a SD on it. #Storage { # Name = bacula-sd # Address = bacula # SDPort = 9103 # Password = "800d69mYSS6b9juhT10o7Yi090jIlWDXd5F25sdTv" # password for StorageDaemon #} ### And here I want to monitor the SD on host "server8" Storage { Name = server8 Address = server8 SDPort = 9103 Password = "server8monitorpasswd" } Director { Name = bacula-dir DIRport = 9101 address = bacula } So now I want to look at the passwords in server57's bacula-sd.conf, right? Make sure they match: Here is the relevant section, I believe... Director { Name = adac8mon-sd Password = "server8monitorpasswd" Monitor = yes } And no... that doesn't work. Then I had an "aha!" moment, and I grokked what you'd written. EACH of the different bacula daemons on EACH host must have the SAME director and monitor passwords as the one contained in your bacula-dir.conf file on the machine with the director. See, what I was doing wrong was trying to have different monitor passwords for each sd and fd daemon and thinking that matching them in the tray-monitor.conf file was the way to grant it access. *BUZZ* Now I got it. I'll try to find time to document this clearly on the Bacula WIKI later today. Tnx for the mental kick-start. --Tim On Tuesday 27 November 2007 5:40:31 am Chris Sarginson wrote: > Make sure that the following lines in your bacula-fd.conf has passwords > that correspond to those in your bacula-dir.conf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
