Thanks for sending this along. I'm not sure the proposal is right. From the source of make_catalog_backup: # This script dumps your Bacula catalog in ASCII format # It works for MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL # # $1 is the name of the database to be backed up and the name # of the output file (default = bacula). # $2 is the user name with which to access the database # (default = bacula). # $3 is the password with which to access the database or "" if no password # (default ""). WARNING!!! Passing the password via the command line is # insecure and should not be used since any user can display the command # line arguments and the environment using ps. Please consult your # MySQL or PostgreSQL manual for secure methods of specifying the # password. # $4 is the host on which the database is located # (default "") By having the first two as they are, we have a configuration that could at least work by default with some PostgreSQL databases. I think that perhaps the best solution is to mention in README.Debian that this line will likely need to be modified during installation. Not just that, but there are better, database-specific, ways to pass along passwords. - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
