Hi Stefan,

with the mailinglist.

That absolutely true, and it is even documented (since beginning of
this week), see
http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#Subd
irectoryConfigurationScheme,
Resource file conventions, Disable/remove configuration resource files.

While I agree, that this is an unwanted effect, it got the benefit,
that you can check in your running system if a resource config file
come from a bareos package and is it modified (when using rpm packages).
When this feature is wanted (I like it), you get the described effects.

The other feature is, that subpackages can bring additional
configuration, like tape backend, webui and others.
When this feature is wanted, your approach unfortunately do not work.

You see, there is a trade-off between the positive and negative effects.

When using the new bconsole command "configure add client ...", it
creates the client resource file for the director.
However, it also creates the director resource for the corresponding
bareos-fd.

So

configure add client name=client2−fd address=192.168.0.2 password=secret

creates

/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/client2-fd.conf (which is
automatically loaded into the director)

and

/etc/bareos/bareos-dir-export/client/client2-fd/bareos-fd.d/director/bar
eos-dir.conf
(which you have to manually transfer to the corresponding system client2
.

regards,
Jörg
