Hmm. The correct fix is to remove 127.0.0.1 and localhost from all
bacula files and put the external ipaddress in it if you plan on
backing up more than 1 machine ever. Otherwise you can keep bacula
locked down as a single system network backup program.

Yes, they effectively make bacula a single machine backup program
(with the exception of the ssh tunneling backups). However they do the
same with apache which is just as nuts. I mean install an Apache web
server that only the local host can access, I am sure there are good
reasons for this however 99% of users will have to change the
default..
