[Bacula-users] default UID/GID for bacula?
Is there default UID/GID that could be used for bacula? If not, it might be nice if Bacula could get default UID and GID assigned at least in several major distributions (such as Red Hat, Debian, Suse, Mandrake).

Re: [Bacula-users] default UID/GID for bacula?
checked my installations since they are all debian. doesn't look like it got a fixed UID/GID ... got 104/104 twice and twice 105/105 ^^ just curious .. but what good would a fixed UID/GID do ?

Quoting Florian Schnabel [EMAIL PROTECTED]: checked my installations since they are all debian. doesn't look like it got a fixed UID/GID ... got 104/104 twice and twice 105/105 ^^ just curious .. but what good would a fixed UID/GID do ? It is convinient to have fixed UID/GIDs accross systems. For example, the files will have correct ownership when moved accross systems (when using UID/GID based archive formats or over NFS). This is especially important when restoring files without having entry for bacula in /etc/passwd file. Furthermore, it would be nice to have two usernames for Bacula project. The file daemon usually needs to run as root and does not require new username. The director and storage daemon would be best running as two separate non-root users. This is because director doesn't need (and shouldn't have) access to devices. Storage daemon might need access to tape devices (which could be given by either adding SD user to appropriate group, for example disk group on Red Hat systems, or changing the owner of backup device). I usually use bacula-d and bacula-s for director and storage daemon respectively (both have bacula group as their primary group, bacula-s is additionally member of disk group). Alternatively, if Debian already uses username bacula, usernames could be bacula for director and bacula-s for storage daemon.

For one, it keeps file permissions from getting screwed up when you copy from machine to machine.
