Excellent. I was successful with the su -s technique (thanks, Mr. Barratt), and then edited /etc/passwd (thanks, Mr. Real).
Now, the backuppc entry is: backuppc:x:101:407:added by portage for backuppc: \ /var/lib/backuppc:/bin/bash ...which allows standard logins with a simple "su backuppc" command, albeit without a password. Should I give backuppc a passwd or will that break something else? Should I even care about unrestricted access to the backuppc user? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
