Thanks Bill, much appreciated. I assume adding password and shell to bacula user does not cause any harm to the bacula functionality

As a matter of fact most package maintainers for the Bacula packages on different Linux Distributions set no password, lock the account, and set the shell to `/usr/bin/nologin` As the root user on the system to need to set a password, unlock the account and change the shell to a valid shell like `/bin/bash` If you are trying to run som binary or script as the bacula users, you can also just use sudo: # sudo -u bacula /path/to/script_or_binary Hope this helps, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
