Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Solaris

[Bug a B. <bu...@cy...>]

I just finished up installing Bacula on Solaris 8 with Gnome.  Works 
great.  Just testing backup and restores now.

In regards to Bacula and Solaris Gnome.  You must have current Gnome 
dependencies.  I spent two days find and up dating before I found that 
Readline and Ensonic dependences needed to be updated.  The readline 
included in Depkgs1 didn't  work with my install.

The problem I'm having is with Hard links in my restores.  The Gnome 
console looks great!  :)  I would love to see a Webmin or some other 
system to manage the actual configuration files!
