ok, so here's what I have so far:
The director is set to read files from /etc/bacula/conf.d (see 13.2.3
in the latest bacula manual)
The client creates a special conf file.
The client uses scp to copy that file to /etc/bacula/conf.d in the director
So far this works ok, now the problem is how do I tell the director to
reload?
Well, to do that, I just set up incron! incron listens to changes to the
cond.d directory, and calls /sbin/service bacula-dir reload when it
detects a changed file there.
I hope all this helps someone.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying... the bacula server is not

If I understand what you're suggesting:
If client creates a config file. This file is somehow put on the
bacula server. The server then somehow adds this file to the
configuration.
There's no way to tell the director to add a client through bconsole?

If you're using chef I'd suggest splitting out each of your client
config files into their own conf file and use chef templates to
create them. Then have a cron script check if there are any
new/changed conf files and reload the director config if their are.
This is what I do.

I was able to successfully install bacula. Now the next step.
I use chef to spin up various systems on aws, I need to back up
each of
these systems. I am able to manually go to the bacula box and add my
clients.
Is there a way to programatically (scripts, bconsole, whatever)
register
a client on the bacula box? Basically add a client to
bacula-dir.conf
and schedule the necessary jobs.
Thanks for your answers!
