Default Fail to start bacula director with systemctl. REALLY SOLVED.

No it isn't. It's a work-around that allows bacula to run while ignoring the
central issue: you need to find out how to make bacula run correctly while
running as user bacula. If the program itself is owned by that user, you may be
able to get things going by using the suid bit. It's a tad weird, I know, and
I'm not sure it's a Good Idea. However, if user bacula only has normal
privileges, it's *probably* safe.


Turned out to be my fault (of course). Had mistyped a path to a log file so it
would only run as root.

and that was meant with "no it is not a solution" run as root :-)
