Exactly:

	root@vipve2:~# grep bacula /etc/passwd
	bacula:x:110:117:Bacula:/var/lib/bacula:/usr/sbin/nologin

Roughly the same here:

	root@vipve2:~# ls -la /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
	-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 271 Jul 15 16:06 /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf

and bacula-sd run as 'bacula' user, that is in group 'bacula'; Anyway, as
just stated, if i run by hand the command forcing a valid shell:

>>       root@vipve2:~# echo 'update slots storage="VIPVE2RDX" drive="0"' | su bacula -s /bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -u 30'
>>       Connecting to Director bacula.lnf.it:9101
>>       1000 OK: 103 lnfbacula-dir Version: 9.4.2 (04 February 2019)

command run.


So seems a 'shell' trouble. How can i circumvent it?


I'm not a c programmer, but i've seen that bconsole get executed here:

	https://sourceforge.net/p/vchanger/code/ci/master/tree/src/mypopen.cpp#l299

with execvp(), but i can go any further...
