You are entirely correct that each console running requires a Director connection. There's two reasons why this cannot be the correct explanation, though. The first is that it would result in different errors - no available connections, rather than password verification failed or TLS errors. The second is that only two jobs were running and Director concurrency is set to 25, which would leave more than 20 connections unaccounted for. I have a suspicion that there is *SOME KIND* of resource exhaustion situation in play, but I don't have a theory as to what is being exhausted. I'm not using Bacula encryption, so it shouldn't be entropy exhaustion. Beyond that, I'm reduced to guessing. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
