OK, thanks. Marco is aware of the bug report.

OK, I can see the reason (below) why. It is up to you whether or not you leave them on, if it all works OK, I don't see a problem. >> Are you a distribution packager?

I am pleased to hear that. I think Bacula is in RHEL 6 main, but if I am not mistaken it is only the FD, which is pretty useless. > > I make sure they also build and run correctly on RHEL 5/6 following > RHEL/Fedora guidelines and policies for packaging. > http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/README.txt Could you email me your .spec files for Bacula and I will review them and possibly make comments? Certain packagers are making serious mistakes by changing the object naming conventions, and by doing or not doing a number of other things. One plea from me to you is: please put all of Bacula with the exception of the Volumes it will write into /opt/bacula. Not doing so does an enormous disservice to users because they cannot easily backup Bacula nor can the easily change versions. Spraying Bacula all over the system is very bad practice. I am very aware of LSB, but the guys who wrote LSB were probably not backup experts, I don't expect I will convince you (or the powers that be), but at least I can try.
