The service component can be used with older clients, but not newer clients with older servers. The solution is to use the 2.4.4 client, from ports. Yes, you'll have to use 'magic' to get a 2.4.4 client from ports. Others can help you figure out how to get a snapshot of the FreeBSD ports tree to get that version. > I did find these related threads in the bacula-users archive > http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg34494.html > and > http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg34494.html Those two links are identical. :) The answer in that link sums it up: You cannot use a version X client with anything *LESS* than a version X server. In general, the project strives to allow you to upgrade the server without upgrading the client. - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoALhUACgkQCgsXFM/7nTykjACg6Vp7zk3Ayr+3h/GZ81aj+75p ZGUAnR73MaINyFJUrxegd8VPyy08CB5H =b8QL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
