Re: [Bacula-users] Getting RHEL 7 to see ancient Ultrium 4 LTO
Hi Ray, If the drive is SCSI it might be a termination issue. Does the drive show up in the BIOS POST screen's SCSI section with the other devices? What's the output of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"? The only driver you should need is "st" (SCSI tape) if it's seeing the other attached devices and the controller itself.

Typically you's set "permit-mynetworks" before "reject-XX-helo-hostname" and add the docker ip ranges to "mynetworks" -- assuming it's postfix. Since docker uses private ip ranges, these ips should never appear on "the Internet" side of the mailserver, i.e. it's not opening the relay for everyone: only to docker containers (which could be a problem too dep. on how far they trust their customers). $.02 Dima ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] bsmtp from within a container
One problem I ignored so far is that the Bacula Docker container I use (pwa666/bacula-server:11-postgresql-latest) cannot send emails to me. bsmtp only seems to use the output of the “hostname” command as the hostname during the negotiation phase. this hostname is some arbitrary ID, not a FQDN. 3422f1072002 --> HELO 3422f1072002 Setting the hostname fails in the container (but thats something to talk about to the container maintainer). my mailserver complains when the hostname used during negotiation is not a FQDN. bsmtp: bsmtp.c:124-0 Fatal malformed reply from mailserver.dummy.net: 504 5.5.2 <3422f1072002>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname I did not find a bsmtp option to override the hostname for smtp client. such an option might be useful. But my mailserver also requires the sending mail user to authenticate and from what I have seen in the documentation bsmtp cannot do that, correct? So I would have to use some other smtp client like “mail”? (which is not in the container, again a problem to clarify elsewhere) Best, J/C ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] bacula-sd systemd service modification prevents daemon failure
While bacula-sd would start fine when run manually at the command-line with "/opt/bacula/bin/bacula-sd", running it as a systemd service consistently resulted in the daemon starting and then stopping almost immediately, with no errors from bacula-sd and with systemd reporting just an 'unknown error'. If the daemon was run with "-T -d xxx -f", it would remain running. Modifying the systemd service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bacula-sd.service) to use: Type=forking (instead of "Type=simple") allowed the daemon to start correctly under systemd without any debugging options.
