What is your configuration for using this command. I'm failing.
I have this in bacula-dir.conf:
Console {
Name = dent-fd
Password = "NotMyPassword"
CommandACL = "*all*"
}
I have this in bconsole.conf:
Director {
Name = bacula-dir
DIRport = 9101
address = ngaio.example.org
Password = "NotMyOtherPassword"
}
Console {
Name = dent-fd
Director = bacula-dir
Password = "NotMyPassoword"
}
When I connect via bconsole:
$ bconsole
Connecting to Director ngaio.example.org:9101
1000 OK: bacula-dir Version: 5.2.6 (21 February 2012)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*setip
Unauthorized command from this console.
