It means that the bacula-fd process should be owned by root. You can check that with ps command, e.g. ps aux | grep bacula-fd It might be a good idea to get to know how unix works and get familiarize with the basic and common unix/linux commands before you continue playing with backup systems. bacula-fd binary itself supports the option "-u" which is used to specify the user bacula-fd should use. You are probably going to use init script provided for easier bacula-fd starting/stopping and looking into that init script might give you an idea how to specify the user for the bacula-fd. For example, on RHEL/Centos, bacula-fd init script would source the file /etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd which contains variables used to define the user for the bacula-fd daemon. Almost certainly you want bacula-fd to run as root but this depends on your specific needs. In any case you should ensure that bacula-fd init script is executed by root (like any other init script on the system). -- Josip Deanovic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
