Sorry, I should've specified I was trying to back up local files. And as Craig once told me, BackupPC doesn't use a shell, it forks. So any children should inherit the original environment. And I did export LC_ALL in .basrc (in backuppc home directory).
This got me thinking, and, as root, I exported LC_ALL=C and restarted BackupPC. Guess what -- it worked! So, it seems that this is a bug of some sort. And I think Debian's 'start- stop-daemon' is the culprit. When called with a '-c' flag, it doesn't set the environment properly. So doing a 'su - ' in initscript would be a workaround. -- R. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
