Hi Alex, on my openSUSE installation I have added a /etc/sysconfig/bacula file
containing this
cat bacula
#!/bin/sh
DIROPTS="-u bacula -g bacula"
SDOPTS="-u bacula -g bacula"
FDOPTS="-u root -g bacula"
and in /etc/init.d/bacula-dir bacula-sd bacula-fd init script
bacula-dir, bacula-sd, bacula-fd add a line to read it
# source process status functions
# this gives us funtion rc_status -v to tell us if we succeed or fail
. /etc/rc.status
# Read our bacula configuration
. /etc/sysconfig/bacula
And for each dameon add the appropriate options
(here for bacula-dir)
start)
echo -n "Starting the Bacula Director: "
/sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-dir $2 $DIROPTS -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
RETVAL=$?
(for bacula-sd)
/sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-sd $2 $SDOPTS -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
(for bacula-fd)
/sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bacula-fd $2 $FDOPTS -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
This can be largely optimized, but do the trick to start bacula daemons with
right users.
I your case, as you already start them with root, you have to check every media
for storage (if file based) and also the working
dir (usually /var/lib/bacula) have the owner set to bacula, and proper right to
them ..
Hope this give you a way under lizards ...
