That is used simply to generate a random password at installation time. While it does generate a good strong random password, it's by no means a requirement to use that method. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

The console has no functionality to set passwords. You set passwords by editing the configuration files, making sure you use the same password in the Director and the client's or storage daemon's configuration file (and, for Catalog access, in your database). To change a password, just replace the password string in both places where it's used (bacula-dir.conf and one of bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf, or your database) and restart the affected Bacula daemons. The password string can contain absolutely anything you like and can be of any length. As best I recall, it is sent across the network as an MD5 hash, not in clear. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
