John,

On the bacula server, in the bacula-dir.conf file, I have, for example:

Client {
  Name = client-fd
  Address = client
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "password123"          # password for FileDaemon
  ....
}


On the client computer, in the bacula-fd.conf file, I have, for example:

FileDaemon {                            # this is me
  Name = client-fd
  FDport = 9102                # where we listen for the director
  .....
}

#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
  Name = bacula-dir
  Password = "password123"        #password matches in bacula-dir.conf
}
