I've been trying to figure out a way to prevent having to allow shell access for backuppc on the clients it needs to backup through ssh/rsync. I consider the backuppc account on the clients to be a system account, but at the same time, it seems that if I want to provide access through ssh, I need to have a shell. Am I correct, or is there some other way? Best, Koen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
