.SH NAME
.B bacula\-dir
\- Bacula Director
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B bacula\-dir
.RI [ options ]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B bacula\-dir
command.
.br
Bacula's Director Daemon acts as the controller of the
network backup system: it is responsible for scheduling and 
coordinating backups across the network.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-c
Change location to read \fIbacula-dir.conf\fP from (default $CWD)
.TP
.BI \-u
Set the username/uid to run as.
.TP
.BI \-g
Set the group/gid to run as.
.SH TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION
Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bacula daemons in
.I hosts.allow
, and the service names of these daemons is configured to be different from the
binary.
The service names are configured to be
.B %hostname%-%component%
rather than
.B bacula-dir
(As defined in the bacula-dir.conf.in file)


So the hosts.allow entry has to match
.B %hostname%-%component%
(servername-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%

.B WARNING:
This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:

.B bacula-dir: ALL

you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!

The entry would have to read:

.B server-dir: ALL

and this will allow the console to connect to the director.
(The process running is bacula-dir.)
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR bacula-fd (8),
.BR bacula-sd (8).
