SYNOPSIS

       bacula-dir [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bacula-dir command.
       Bacula's  Director  Daemon acts as the controller of the network backup
       system: it is  responsible  for  scheduling  and  coordinating  backups
       across the network.

OPTIONS

       -c     Change location to read bacula-dir.conf from (default $CWD)

       -u     Set the username/uid to run as.

       -g     Set the group/gid to run as.

TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION

       Tcpwrappers  looks  for  the  service  name  of  the  bacula daemons in
       hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is  configured  to
       be  different  from the binary.  The service names are configured to be
       %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in  the  bac-
       ula-dir.conf.in file)


       So  the  hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (server-
       name-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%

       WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:

       bacula-dir: ALL

       you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local  director!

       The entry would have to read:

       server-dir: ALL

       and  this  will  allow  the  console  to connect to the director.  (The
       process running is bacula-dir.)
