My bacula user is also a member of the disk group. The disk group has rw
access to bacula-sd.conf. It also completes the full group permissions
required in bacula. While I've tested using disk backups, I am exclusively
using tape media for my backups. Also, my SD runs as the bacula user and while
you did not indicate what user you were when calling the init.d/ script, I will
presume it was the root user. Systemd does not use the init.d/ scripts unless
the systemd script has been modified to do so (bad idea).
For future reference, if you are going to ask for help on permissions, provide
your current permission settings on the relevant files.

Hey there,
I'm having a problem on a virtualized Debian 9 server where i want to
install bacula (7.4.4)
I'm not able to start the SD, while FD and DIR are OK
When I try to start it with _systemd start bacula-sd_, i'm getting the
following
Oct 9 14:11:29 bacula-sd[6539]: Config error: Cannot open config file
"/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf": Permission denied
Oct 9 14:11:29 bacula-sd[6539]: 09-Oct 14:11 bacula-sd: ERROR TERMINATION
at parse_conf.c:919
Oct 9 14:11:29 bacula-sd[6539]: Config error: Cannot open config file
"/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf": Permission denied
Oct 9 14:11:29 systemd[1]: bacula-sd.service: Main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
I thought permissions issues, but it seems not.
I've tried to
- apt-get install --reinstall bacula-sd, same problem (so with default
permissions)
- remove bacula-sd.conf : same problem (weird, i guess i should have a "no
such file or directory" ?)
- start with /etc/init.d/bacula-sd : same problem
- check permissions in /etc/bacula + /var/lib/bacula + /run/bacula : same
problem
- set an unix password to my bacula user (that belongs to the "tape" group
of course) to try to ssh login and go|see /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf, worked
perfectly
- start it with -- sh -x /etc/init.d/bacula-sd start -- but am not able to
see any problem
The only thing that works is if I manually start the SD from CLI --
/usr/sbin/bacula-sd -f -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -- that confirms me it
neither related to a typo mistake from bacula-sd.conf nor an LTO problem
(communication problem). Once started this way, i'm able to "status sd" in
bconsole.
.... any hint appreciated !
