Re: [Bacula-users] Any takers, pls? Bacula Sudo Authentication Failure

Hi All;

Thank for your help.

After some more investigation, with your help i managed to crack this annoying error, this was due to a line on the bacula-sd.conf file:

Alert Command = "sh -c 'sudo /usr/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"

So i have added a line on my visudo file allowing bacula to run: /usr/sbin/tapeinfo as root

Thanks again

Lucio
