http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item_backuppc_user says: ---- For security purposes you might choose to configure the BackupPC user with the shell set to /bin/false. Since you might need to run some BackupPC programs as the BackupPC user for testing purposes, you can use the -s option to su to explicitly run a shell, eg: su -s /bin/bash __BACKUPPCUSER__ ---- Nils Breunese. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
