Description
When giving bcfg2-info the -C flag to use an alternate config file, it still attempts to read /etc/bcfg2.conf and complains if it cannot. For instance, if /etc/bcfg2.conf has permissions that make it unreadable to normal users, those users cannot run bcfg2-info, for instance to test templates. E.g.:
/usr/sbin/bcfg2-info -d -Q /home/stpierre/bcfg2/trunk -C /home/stpierre/bcfg2/trunk/Cfg/etc/bcfg2.conf/bcfg2.conf.H_bcfg.example.com buildfile /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf backup.example.com Failed to load configuration settings. No section: 'statistics'
Although /home/stpierre/bcfg2/trunk/Cfg/etc/bcfg2.conf/bcfg2.conf.H_bcfg.example.com was a valid bcfg2.conf (in fact, it was the same file as /etc/bcfg2.conf) and was readable, bcfg2-info still errored out after trying to read /etc/bcfg2.conf. From an 'strace' on the above command:
open("/etc/bcfg2.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) open("/etc/bcfg2-web.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) close(7) = 0 write(2, "Failed to load configuration set"..., 64Failed to load configuration settings. No section: 'statistics' ) = 64
To replicate this issue:
Create a local copy of /etc/bcfg2.conf.
Change permissions on /etc/bcfg2.conf such that you can no longer read it.
Attempt to run bcfg2-info using the -C flag against your local copy of bcfg2.conf.

This appears to be a bug in an older release. I can no longer reproduce this behavior with trunk:
