In the section about using sudo at http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html I would like to propose a change. In the advise on using a script, using a script is less secure (don't know why, i was just told). And it is not needed in this case.
The reason for using the script was to force the use of the "--server --sender" arguments to the rsync command. Well sudo provides this on its own, so setting the sudo config to backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender * causes sudo to only accept the /usr/bin/rsync command with those arguments, the '*' at the end tels sudo to accept more arguments after -- sender, in my own case i added all the static arguments to the line, just to be bothersome. The same goes for the tar example. -- Med venlig hilsen/mojn/regards Martin Hansen Center for Software Innovation Stenager 2, DK-6400 Sønderborg, Web: www.cfsi.dk _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
