On FreeBSD, by design, the Director is set to run as bacula:bacula.

I suggest the issue is the permission on the certificate. What are they? > I checked /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-dir and noted the > bacula_flags > line: > -u bacula -g bacula -v -c /usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf I suggest starting bacula-dir from the command line with these options. You might see interesting error messages related to this issue. Try add -d as appropriate. > when i start the director using this line i'm getting an error the > private key file can not be read.

I suggest adjusting the permissions on the certificate so they are bacula:bacula. There are other solutions, but I do not recommend them until you try the above. Changing the permissions, AFAIK, is the right way to go. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
