It is also documented in the *client* configuration, i.e. the bacula-fd.conf on the remote machines would be a good location to put it. > The descriptive text > for the Director resource seems to indicate that it might be applicable > to the Client resource, too, though, and indeed my director does not > complain about seeing it there, but it doesn't seem to have the desired > effect, either.

Don't know, and I've got too much stuff to do to check in the code... you could try that yourself, or ask on -devel if nobody here has a definitive answer. > - - Is a "reload" from bconsole sufficient to activate it, or must > the director be restarted to see its effect? If it's supposed to work, a reload should be sufficient. But trying a restart wouldn't hurt, I guess...
