This brings us to other discussions haha.
Installation preference?
What's to discuss?? Binaries, scripts, configuration and so on go under
/opt/bacula, messages get logged to syslogd, and if the package spits
mail, have it spit mail somewhere sensible.
Compiled or official binaries?
After the debacle with OpenSSL - Oh, look, it was Debian who did it - I
find it very hard to trust any of the Linux distros, too many of the
people involved are so very, very, very smart that they refuse to listen
to anybody who has experience in the field.
So build anything critical from source.
I'm not quite at the NSA level of, "Delete everything on the supplied
disk(s), compile everything from inspected source, including the kernel,
on a known, safe system", but I'm about one more screw-up or
Poetterer(sp?) away from it. (And in another decade I may have enough
super to be able to recover, and then it's SEP. (Of course, I may take
permanent recovery before then, which means it concerns me even less.))
Fortunately, as a known BOFH, (people used to ask me if my name was
Simon, or why don't I have a Kiwi accent), I get to specify how our
systems are configured, and since we use different UNIX and Linux
systems, as well as Windows, having everything in the same place on a
system running XYZ Linux as it does on an AIX system makes life much easier.
Cheers,
