Package: bacula-director-common Severity: normal
/usr/share/bacula-common/defconfig/bacula-dir.conf contains a template for the initial bacula-dir.conf. In this file we have # This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula" which will always fail (since the make_catalog_backup is just a wrapper around mysqldump. It should be RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup -u<user> -p<password>" in order to work. I think this could be handled by the postinst script (which knows the user/password), or at least a comment indicating that the values should be changed to suit the local setup. Note also that the bacula Job *does not indicate failure* when this misconfiguration is present, it just dosent back up the database & returns OK. So it is rather pernicious. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
