Re: Porting Bacula 7 to FreeBSD

I upgraded from Bacula 5.2.12 to Bacula 7 and now I've to specifiy IP adresses instead of hostnames in my Bacula configuration.

Configuration snipped:

Code: 
FileDaemon {                          # this is me
  Name = reis-fd
  FDAddresses = { ip = { addr = reis.salatschuessel.net ; port = 9102 } }
...
}

Error message:

Code: 
15-Aug 14:00 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at address_conf.c:525
Config error: Cannot add hostname(reis.salatschuessel.net) and port(9102) to addrlist (Cannot resolve hostname(reis.salatschuessel.net) Non-recoverable failure in name resolution)
            : line 33, col 71 of file /usr/local/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
  FDAddresses = { ip = { addr = reis.salatschuessel.net ; port = 9102 } }

Replacing the hostname with the IP works - but this is not the solution I want.
 
This sure sounds like a DNS problem to me. On the client, what does this command give:

host reis.salatschuessel.net

FYI, for me:

[dan@dent:~] $ host reis.salatschuessel.net
Code: 
Host reis.salatschuessel.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
 
Hi,

Why should it be a DNS problem if it worked with 5 but not with 7?

Code: 
root@reis /root> dig reis.salatschuessel.net

root@reis /root>

And no - it is not because it is a CNAME - it also happens with direct A entries - and yes - reverse lookup is working too.
My DNS is configured fine - trust me ;)

I don't know. That's why I asked the question I did. It's part of basic debugging not presented in the original post.

Now that we've confirmed that, I think your next step is the Bacula user mailing list.
 
Hrm, can you try if DNS resolving works for you when defining the address the FD or SD should listen to? I mean if not this would be a major drawback.
 
Your example (with altered hostname) failed for me too. However, I recommend trying this:

Code: 
FDPort = 9102
FDAddress = reis.salatschuessel.net
 
this seem to work fine.

Looks like a regression to me if you can reproduce it - are you willing to report that on the ML or bugtracker if existing? Otherwise I would have go through all the submission stages and I guess you are already submitted to the ML and/or the bugtracker
