Heitor,

Thanks! That was my understanding. The file, /etc/init.d/bacula-sd, includes 
the shell function:

 do_start()
 {
 
         start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \
         --oknodo --exec $DAEMON -- -c $CONFIG $ARGS
 
 }

So, along with the other parameter assignment statements I added:

 ARGS="-u root -g bacula"

thinking that this would do it after a restart. But, it didn't. after the 
restart bacula-sd still was running as bacula/tape. Either those are not the 
correct options or they are being overridden somehow -- or I just don't 
understand shell programming. :-)

Cheers!

 You can change those editing daemon script: /etc/init.d/bacula-sd

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!
