NAME

       bacula-dir - Bacula Director

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.

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 bacula-dir.conf.in file)

       So  the hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (servername-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.)
