Phil, While ssh would technically be a usable solution, using port forwarding via SSH is often not allowed by hard policy by many government and corporate agencies. (especially remote port forwarding [-R]) The ability to use standard in/out to forward bacula traffic would be a more elegant and versatile solution. (port forwarding over SSH, which is forwarded over another binary like connect.c is extra overhead. Also eliminates the need to make sure local and remote port collisions since stdin/out don't need unique TCP ports for concurrent backup sessions)
Item 2 is more directly to address the issue with "no remote port forwarding" policy conflicts, which there is no feasible solution other than breaking policy.

The use of ssh tunnels for Bacula has, if memory serves, been documented for some time. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
