Re: [Bacula-users] New To Bacula

John/Carlo..

Thanks for the reply!!
I found the problem.. I'd checked to see iptables status on the client
node, and found it
was off (INPUT default ACCEPT), but I *didn't* check the Bacula "server"
machine.. Stopped
iptables and now it works fine... 

Thanks again.. I'm betting I'm gonna have a LOT more questions soon!!

Dave

If you have localhost or 127.0.0.1 in any address for any of the
bacula configuration files remove that. Also is there a firewall that
prevents the FD from initiating a connection to the SD?
