[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#783083: Info received (Bug#783083: bacula-director-common: Bacula director has problems with kernel linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (v3.16.7-ckt7-1~bpo70+1))

[Artur Linhart]

I have one new message to this bug, I think this is the bug either in
the given new kernel - so it would the mean the package
linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (version 3.16.7-ckt9-2~bpo70+1),
which I have used, or in the firewall  (Sophos UTM 9.x) which acts
between both hosts or even somwhere else. I have encountered similar
problems also in other services like zabbix or just simple ssh. The same
problems seem to be if I have used the package with kernel 3.2.0.
The firewall receives somehow packets, which are not correctly
recognized by the IP filtering rules what leads to the DROP of them even
if the filter is explicitely specified on the source/destination
address. By the usage of the older kernel the traffic runs through
firewall without problems.

The firewall lets the packet through only in the case neither source nor
destination address is specified in the filter.

I have seen never in my life such behavior.

But I have tracked it only on one hosts - the wrong thing is, there are
other 17 where I did not encounter any problems, even by usage of the
same kernel...

In every case this problem seems to be no problem of bacula at all and I
think also no problem of postgresql client.
