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 the binary. 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.)
