Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd cannot access files from the system still getting [permission denied]
I check my journctl. I did journalctl -u bacula-dir.service, now it show a different error says' Aug 15 23:56:17 thidwick bacula-dir[5858]: 15-Aug 23:56 Message delivery ERROR: Mail program terminated in error. CMD=/usr/lib/bacula/bsmtp -h localhost -f (Bacula) root@localhost -s Bacula: Backup OK of thidwick-fd Incremental root@localhost ERR=No such file or directory Maybe, this will give you guys more hint on the actual problem?

Hi!
I am not sure what OS you are using so my advice here could
probably
be improved if you use the solution more suitable for your
system.
If you just want to start the bacula-fd daemon using that
init script
and see how it works you can modify this line:
ARGS=-c /etc/bacula/${NAME}.conf
so that it looks like this:
ARGS=-c /etc/bacula/${NAME}.conf -u root -g root
The content of the ARGS variable is later in the function
do_start()
passed to the command which will execute the bacula-fd daemon.
After starting bacula-fd using that modified init script,
bacula-fd
should run as root. You can check the process list as before to
ensure that.
Again, most systems support some procedure that can be used to
source (include) additional file with additional options and
variables.
I would suggest that you find the best way to supply additional
parameters to the init scripts on your system because modified
init scripts are likely to be overwritten during the update of
the related package.

I am not sure what OS you are using so my advice here could probably
be improved if you use the solution more suitable for your system.
If you just want to start the bacula-fd daemon using that init script
and see how it works you can modify this line:
ARGS=-c /etc/bacula/${NAME}.conf
so that it looks like this:
ARGS=-c /etc/bacula/${NAME}.conf -u root -g root
The content of the ARGS variable is later in the function do_start()
passed to the command which will execute the bacula-fd daemon.
After starting bacula-fd using that modified init script, bacula-fd
should run as root. You can check the process list as before to
ensure that.
Again, most systems support some procedure that can be used to
source (include) additional file with additional options and
variables.
I would suggest that you find the best way to supply additional
parameters to the init scripts on your system because modified
init scripts are likely to be overwritten during the update of
the related package.

[Bacula-users] bacula-fd cannot access files from the system still getting [permission denied]
Hi, I have been searching around a lot about “permission denied” errors, however, none of them matches my case. I am keeping getting Permission denied error on bacula-fd daemon. In the manual, it says that run the file system daemon as root. I am assuming it means the following, -rw-r- 1 root bacula 1012 Mar 6 2013 bacula-fd.conf” However, it seems not working at all. In addition, I keep other configuration files with user as bacula and group as bacula. Is this the correct? How can I check whether the daemon is running as root user or some others? What does the manual mean by “run file system daemon as root”? Thanks, Jing -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

You can check that with ps command, e.g. ps aux | grep bacula-fd It might be a good idea to get to know how unix works and get familiarize with the basic and common unix/linux commands before you continue playing with backup systems. bacula-fd binary itself supports the option -u which is used to specify the user bacula-fd should use. You are probably going to use init script provided for easier bacula-fd starting/stopping and looking into that init script might give you an idea how to specify the user for the bacula-fd. For example, on RHEL/Centos, bacula-fd init script would source the file /etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd which contains variables used to define the user for the bacula-fd daemon. Almost certainly you want bacula-fd to run as root but this depends on your specific needs. In any case you should ensure that bacula-fd init script is executed by root (like any other init script on the system). -- Josip Deanovic -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd cannot access files from the system still getting [permission denied]
Hi,
I have been searching around a lot about “permission denied” errors,
however,
none of them matches my case. I am keeping getting Permission denied
error on
bacula-fd daemon. In the manual, it says that run the file system daemon
as
root. I am assuming it means the following,
-rw-r- 1 root bacula 1012 Mar 6 2013 bacula-fd.conf”
However, it seems not working at all. In addition, I keep other configuration
files with user as bacula and group as bacula. Is this the correct? How can I
check whether the daemon is running as root user or some others? What does the
manual mean by “run file system daemon as root”?

I have checked all the possible places for bacula-fd, all the permissions seem correct. I tried Heitor's way, but no luck. I am considering reinstall the bacula. If I do that, will all the previous backup be lost? Or, is there any other way I can somehow solve this problem? Thanks, Jing Hi Jing, There is no need for reinstallation of the bacula (unless you really messed up something with its binaries and libraries). Have you checked your bacula init script for clues where additional initscript configuration could be found? For example, on RHEL/Centos and bacula 7.x I have file /etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd which contains variables that can define a user you want bacula to run with. About the ps aux... The line you have posted clearly shows that your bacula-fd daemon is running as user called bacula. That is fine if you only need to backup files readable by the user called bacula but if you want to backup complete system you almost certainly want your bacula-fd daemon to be run as root. So, check your initscript /etc/init.d/bacula-fd. Look for variables that are used as a parameter for the bacula-fd's -u option and look for the files that might be included (sourced) from the initscript. It is likely that the sourced file will contain few variables which could be used to specify a user and a group your want your bacula-fd daemon to run as. -- Josip Deanovic -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
