Thank you Marcin, I wasn’t aware the Baculum could also be installed on a FD host. Interesting to know. Actually my question was not clearly phrased as I did mean it. I did not mean to look the password up on the FD host side in Baculum.
What I did mean was, where in Baculum on the director host would I find the secret strings to use in the bconsole file director directive on the FD host side. The same for the secret string for the monitor director directive in the bacula-fd.conf on the FD machine. The initial setup suggests that both secret strings are not identical to each other. Sorry for the unclear phrasing. Best J/C > On 16.
