At this time I think you manually have to assign each server to a

thats about it. I'm not sure what it would take to randomize a list of

that when running bconsole, it does not by default look
at /etc/bacula/ for a bconsole.conf file. So when I run it I have to
manually point to the config file with -c. Current directory is viewed
for a conf file, it just makes sense to me that the /etc/bacula/
directory would be checked too. So
a bit of this job on it. This is a bit confusing, however
mostly cosmetic. Is this a bug, or is it by design?
