.SH TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION
Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bareos daemons in
.I hosts.allow
The service names are not the names of the binaries, but the configured names of the components, often %hostname%-%component%.

So the hosts.allow entry has to match
.B %hostname%-%component%
(servername-dir for example) instead of bareos-%component%

.B WARNING:

This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:

.B bareos-dir: ALL

you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!

The entry would have to read:

.B server-dir: ALL

and this will allow the console to connect to the director.
(The process running is bareos-dir.)
