[Bacula-users] debug available on bacula-fd?
Okay, I've got the weirdest authentication problem. We've got dozens of clients set up, and they all work. But this one new linux system keeps getting auth errors. We have gotten two good backups, but the followups always fail. We've changed passwords, everything. 1. No firewall between the hosts (dedicated backup network) 2. Telnet 9102 to the client or 9103 client to backup server works fine Is there any debug I can enable on the filedaemon to figure out what it thinks is wrong? Nothing is being logged... -- Jo Rhett senior geek Silicon Valley Colocation - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

What I'd do in your situation is: - shutdown the FD on the funny client - start the FD manually like 'bacula-fd -c ... -f -d 1000 | tee ./bacula-fd-1000.log' - try to connect to the FD using bconsoles status comand - watch the log lines scroll But first check that the DIR has the correct address for the FD - perhaps the IP address has changed some time in between... 'show client=...' in bconsole is a good first step. Also, look up the documentation to the setip command - that one can cause you lots of fun :-) Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de - Take Surveys.

This has always worked fine. It's just the backups which fail, which is why I am so very confused. - watch the log lines scroll But first check that the DIR has the correct address for the FD - perhaps the IP address has changed some time in between... 'show client=...' in bconsole is a good first step. Naw, IPs are fine. Testing using telnet too :-) status client works fine talking to the FD. That's what is confusing me. Also, look up the documentation to the setip command - that one can cause you lots of fun :-) Eh? Clue me in please.

'show client=...' in bconsole is a good first step. Naw, IPs are fine. Testing using telnet too :-) Yes, but I had the impression that the DIR might have the wrong IP of your client. status client works fine talking to the FD. That's what is confusing me.

You can dynamically assign a new address to a client using the setip command. You only need a configured console, connect using one of Baculas console programs to the DIR, issue 'setip' and the DIR learned a new address for the client you logged in from. But that's not the problem here, I assume, because if it would the status command would not work. Anyway, then keep the debug output running and stored and start a job and see what happens. Perhaps that debug output tells something interesting. Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Ok, now I am confused, too :-; Hehehe. You're gonna laugh. Someone decided to bring up a new system, and just went and grabbed the next IP. So there was a bacula client on that IP but it wasn't the one which we had configured. I'm going to start hardcoding ARPs for this network to prevent that kind of silliness again. But that does bring up the question as to why a bacula client without the properly password was working fine for status...? -- Jo Rhett senior geek Silicon Valley Colocation - Take Surveys.
