BACULA-DIR(8)	      Network backup, recovery&verification	   BACULA-DIR(8)

NAME
     bacula-dir - Bacula Director

SYNOPSIS
     bacula-dir [options]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the bacula-dir command.
     Bacula's  Director Daemon acts as the controller of the network backup sys-
     tem: it is responsible for scheduling and coordinating backups  across  the
     network.

OPTIONS
     -c file
	    Specify the configuration file to use.

     -d nn  Set debug level to nn.

     -dt    Print timestamp in debug output.

     -T     Send debug messages to the trace file.

     -f     Run in foreground (for debugging).

     -g group
	    Set the group/gid to run as.

     -m     Print kaboom output (for debugging).

     -P     Do not create a PID file.

     -r job
	    Run <job>.

     -s     No signals (for debugging).

     -t     Test the configuration file and report errors.

     -u user
	    Set the username/uid to run as.

     -v     Set verbose mode.

     -?     Show version and usage of program.

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
     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.)
