[Bacula-users] Packet size too big errors

[Shawn R. <sra...@sh...>]

I’m running Bacula 9.0.6 on CentOS 7.3. Today I received the following errors when my catalog was backing up:

03-Mar 12:27 xbacdirector01-lv.internal.shutterfly.com-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:330 UA Hello from client:10.32.12.18:9101 is invalid. Len=0

I manually ran a backup of my catalog after I received the errors and it was successful.

Does anyone know why I would be getting these messages and if it’s something to be concerned about?
