* SSL/TLS has been disabled in this version of Bacula due to licensing concerns. See thread at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00144.html for more details.

I might suggest to the packager that it would be worth noting that this disables data encryption as well. > > > > Thanks for the info.

I appreciate your care with this matter; I know it's difficult work.
