Bug Description

During installation bacula creates /etc/bacula/common_default_passwords and uses this passwords in /etc/bacula/bacula-{sd,fd,dir}.conf files.
However DIRPASSWD from common_default_passwords does not match one in bacula-dir.conf, instead hardcoded value is used.

I installed bacula on 2 different systems and in both cases passwords in common_default_passwords were random and unique but bacula-dir.conf "Director" password was the same on both systems.

Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
