Please, why there is

in Makefile.in? I had sysconfdir set to /usr/local/etc in FreeBSD
and /etc in Linux, so everywhere I have put new bacula,
I accidentally cut off access to these system directories to
non-root services and programs. (Bug report 2205.)
Are you using the FreeBSD port? It defaults to /usr/local/etc/bacula
Hi, no, I have my own cross-platform and cross-administrator installation
script, so I'm independent on server administrators, where bacula-client
has to be installed.
However, as I looked on FreeBSD port, which is heavily patched by the way,
if anybody changes ETCDIR, he could be in trouble too. And there is one
more problem - directory is owned to group bacula:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-client
# make ETCDIR=/usr/local/etc install
...
# ls -ld /usr/local/etc
drwxrwx--- 12 root bacula 1536 8 feb 13:48 /usr/local/etc/
I think that Bacula installation should either use $(sysconfdir)/bacula
instead of just $(sysconfdir), so sysconfdir could be really "sys-conf-dir"
like /etc or /usr/local/etc, and then chmod 770 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/bacula
could not change system directory permissions, or chmod should be deleted
(but then I'm not sure about the source of group change - maybe it is the
other thing, which should be solved).
