I upgraded my server to Debian Buster (10) and took the opportunity to upgrade Bacula to the repo version (9.4.2). I retained my existing /etc/bacula/*.conf files.
I had no luck getting the services to start (exited with error) using the /etc/init.d scripts but did get them to run manually (sudo /usr/sbin/bacula-xxx -c bacula-xxx.conf) starting them as root after having checked that the -t and -f options produced no errors. This set me looking into the init scripts that the repo provided. The ownerships set in the scripts are different to root:root. The installer installed new scripts in /etc/init.d and /lib/systemd/system as I chose to allow the installer to install the package maintainers versions over what I had. The ownerships set in the scripts are different to root:root. 1) /etc/init.d/bacula-director is configured to run as user:group = bacula:bacula (BUSER/BGROUP) 2) /etc/init.d/bacula-fd is configured to run as root:root and /etc/init.d/bacula-sd as bacula:tape 3) /lib/systemd/system/bacula-director.service unit file was installed and also runs as bacula:bacula 4) /lib/systemd/system/bacula-sd.service unit runs as bacula:tape 5) /lib/systemd/system/bacula-fd.service unit runs as root:root Has anyone used these successfully with these ownerships?
