Hello,
I have released Bacula 1.38.5 to Source Forge. As usual, the release is the
source tar.gz file, the .src.rpm file, and the Fedora FC4 binary rpms (the
only system I have for building rpms).
The changes are rather minor, but important for affected users:
Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
As you can see, the only changes are for those of you using "label barcodes"
or those of you installing from rpms, so very few of you will need to
upgrade.
The source code changes only the Director, so there is no need to upgrade
clients, and I am not for the moment releasing a new Win32 binary.
Please note that I have not tested the binary rpms, but I hope that changing
the Storage daemon to use the "disk" group with resolve the problem users
have had with tape drive permissions (thanks to Martin for pointing out why
adding the bacula group to the disk group does not work).

Best regards,
Kern
