These are the ./configure flags I used. This puts the desired daemon
user/group in the startup scripts. I didn't find a --with option to set the
daemon executable permissions that defaults to 750.

#compile
cd $target/bacula-$ver
PREFIX=/usr/sbin
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
./configure \
  --bindir=/usr/bin \
  --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
  --docdir=/usr/html \
  --htmldir=/usr/html \
  --enable-smartalloc \
  --with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula/scripts \
  --with-working-dir=/var/lib/bacula \
  --with-pid-dir=/var/run/bacula \
  --with-logdir=/var/log/bacula \
  --with-postgresql \
  --with-archivedir=/mnt/usb \
  --with-job-email=root@localhost \
  --with-dump-email=root@localhost \
  --with-hostname=pi-b \
  --with-db-name=bacula \
  --with-db-user=bacula \
  --with-db-password=++++ \
  --with-dir-user=bacula \
  --with-dir-group=bacula \
  --with-fd-user=root \
  --with-fd-group=root \
  --with-sd-user=bacula \
  --with-sd-group=tape
