Hi,
     I have recently upgraded my bacula box to debian wheezy. Bacula got 
upgraded to 5.2.6 (previous version was 5.0.2 IIRC).
I started to get messages like the following one every minute:

bacula-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:415 Unable to authenticate console 
"*UserAgent*" at client: <client-ip:client-port>

During the upgrade of the bacula package a warning came up stating that 
the previous director password had been changed to a more secure one.

bconsole wouldn't connect anymore because of this. Just had to change 
the password in /etc/bconsole.conf and I could connect to the director 
again via bconsole.
But the weird messages continued to appear.

Turned out the culprit was a bacula-web alternative called "almir", 
which I had installed almost one year before, that was still using the 
pre-update bconsole password, thus being unable to authenticate itself.
After updating that password the messages stopped.

Lesson learned: after changing bacula-dir password, remember to check 
the configuration of every third-party software that connects to it :-P

I took me some time to figure this out, so I'm posting this in the hope 
it will be of some help to anybody stumbling upon a similar issue in the 
future.
