TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION
Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bacula daemons in
hosts.allow, and the service names of these daemons is configured to be different from thebinary.The service names are configured to be
%hostname%-%component%rather than
bacula-dir(As defined in the bacula-dir.conf.in file)
So the hosts.allow entry has to match%hostname%-%component%(servername-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
WARNING:This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
bacula-dir: ALL
you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
The entry would have to read:
server-dir: ALL
and this will allow the console to connect to the director.(The process running is bacula-dir.)
