Gary,
You must not use localhost or 127.0.0.x in any bacula configuration
file, anywhere. It will not work correctly if you do. You are seeing
the results of that mistake in your system now. If bacula does not
initially work with a static IP or FQDN, we must troubleshoot why and
resolve the issue.
The bacula configuration files you must check are:
bacula-dir.conf
bacula-sd.conf
bacula-fd.conf
You can search your system for these files with:
sudo find / -type f -name 'bacula-*.conf'
Please run that find command on both your workstation and your server,
and reply with the output, indicating which system gave which output.
The files are all in /etc/bacula.
It seems to me that if you shouldn't use localhost / 127.0.0.1 in a
configuration file, the default configuration files shouldn't use it.
Instead they should use a descriptive meta-value such as <network name
of the storage device> or <network name of the changer>. This would
prevent the services from starting until the values are replaced with
something legitimate. They would also remove the need for multiple
comments (most of which are NOT currently in the files) about what the
value should not be.
