Checking for @PASSWORD@ and failing to run is quite reasonable.  However, during the installation process (before running) the @PASSWORD@ as well as a lot of other variables should be replaced.  In the case of @PASSWORD@ it should be replaced by a random string by openssl.  Perhaps the packager (Simone) did not make openssl a package dependency.

Best regards,
Kern

It sounds like they (CentOS/RedHat) have badly messed up the packaging.
Last I looked the startup scripts grepped for "PASSWORD@@" and refused
to run with "Set the password for your bacula!" if they found it.

I.e. yes, this is on purpose and no, they didn't mess up the packaging.
