Thanks, I understand.
Still the partial questions are open where I find the corresponding secret 
strings in Baculum. I am not complaining, just want to make explicit that not 
all parts of the questions are answered yet.

Where ein Baculum do I find the bconsole secret for the bcsonsole config file? 
I understand that it must be somehow possible to restrict the bconsole access 
using ACLs. I am just trying to understand where in the most basic config I 
would find the secret (which menu path in Baculum).

Also: on what operating systems there is a tray monitor available that then 
uses the bacula-mon interface? Is this a Windows-specific thing? (So this 
interface is for localhost use only I I should find the corresponding secret 
string in the config for the tray app?). I am using mostly macOS and Debian, 
some FreeBSD - is this relevant on these platforms? (I don’t have Windows at 
all. Lucky me.)

Thanks again,
 J/C
