======== Upgrading from old Redhat releases
2785c5
2785c5
When upgrading from old Redhat releases, the "bacula-libs-sql" package takes
2785c5
care of making the appropriate selection for the database backend based on what
2785c5
was previously configured on the old system.
2785c5
2785c5
The default permissions in the "/etc/bacula" folder have changed; please perform
2785c5
the following commands for restoring the permissions for the correct operation
2785c5
of the daemons.
2785c5
2785c5
# chown -R root:root /etc/bacula
2785c5
# chmod 755 /etc/bacula
2785c5
# chmod 640 /etc/bacula/*
2785c5
# chgrp bacula /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf /etc/bacula/query.sql
2785c5
2785c5
All the files that are part of the Director configuration (included with @) must
2785c5
of course have the same permissions as the main configuration file.
