Thank you;
That much seems to check out OK
> In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf check that DirAddress also reports geek
In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf I have DirAddress = 127.0.0.1
> Check also that /etc/hosts doesn't contain an entry where the fqdn of

my /etc/hosts has two entries
127.0.0.1 geek.aww.net geek localhost
127.0.0.1 geek.aww.net Geek

My understanding - which is very soft and unsure - is that that is sort 
of expected.
Can you please help me understand why this is not wanted for bacula?
and how I would have to change it to make things work?

TIA
