This question is directed to those familiar with the packaging of Bacula for 
Debian Linux systems. I am completing the installation of Bacula (v5.2.6) for 
a Debian "Stable" ("Jessie", v8.5) system and have a question about the user & 
group identity of the bacula-sd daemon.

>>From running the command `ps -ef` I determined that the default identity is 
user: bacula & group: tape. Since I'm doing backups only to disk, for 
convenience I want to change the group to bacula, but I haven't been able to 
figure out how.

Unless I've overlooked something the documentation states only that you CAN 
change the user & group of the running daemons but doesn't explain how. By 
examining the manual pages for the daemons I saw the options "-u <user>" & "-g 
<group>" that could be added to the bacula-sd command so I attempted to add a 
"$ARGS" argument to the bacula-sd SysV init file. It didn't work. I'm pretty 
sure that I did this correctly but bacula-sd always runs as bacula/tape. (FYI, 
this worked in previous versions of Bacula that I have used.)

What have I missed & where can this be changed?

Thanks!
