kindof
the username you put in the host file in backuppc only applies to the web
session you login to backuppc as
if i pick some random name(it does not have to be for a user on the system)
franko
and add that users to the htpasswd file
htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd franko
it will ask me for a password. now franko can log in with that passwod
now, i can add franko to the host file
host dhcp user moreUsers
yaakovlt 0 franko
now franko, and the backuppc admin user, can manage yaakovlt, but no one
else
if i change this to
host dhcp user moreUsers
yaakovlt 0 franko stevo
now franko, stevo, and backuppc can manage.
that make sense?
