This may not be the case. When I tried to install BackupPC on MacOS X it also took me a while to figure out how to start BackupPC with the right user, as suid perl is not installed by default on MacOS X and I don't want to mess with the system's perl. It turns out that this can be worked around by starting backuppc with sudo, and wrapping backuppc's cgi with a shell script that does another sudo. So I suppose in your case this will only need the second half of my solution, i.e., make a shell script that wraps around the real backuppc cgi with a sudo. -- cheers, -ambrose ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
