[Bacula-users] Locating a network connection failure

Hello list,

Problem 1 (See director log below):
Network error 'Connection reset by peer'.

Solution 1 (as documented):
Using the 'Heartbeat Interval' configuration parameter throughout
the director, storage daemon, and file daemon config files.

Problem 2:
Setting keepalives (Heartbeat Interval) everywhere is not good.
Exactly in which block of which config keepalives are needed is
not easy to understand.

Question 2:
...Please advise in which block of which config 'Heartbeat Interval
is really required to solve the network failure. Thanks!

My guess 2:
I'm guessing that the director->filedaemon connection is breaking
off, causing the network failure. If that's true, I assume that
setting 'Heartbeat Interval' only in the 'Director' block of
bacula-dir.conf will solve the problem. Can I really remove
all mention of 'Heartbeat Interval' in the other configs,
including the 'Storage' block of bacula-dir.conf?

Unfortunately, I can't test my guess because of traffic limits.
