I ran across what appears to be the reason for the issue that I am having.
I found the following issue in my console:
/var/log/console.log:Jul 23 23:52:11 danube kernel: Jul 23 23:52:11 danube
sudo[2
866]: backuppc : command not allowed ; PWD=/usr/home/backuppc ; USER=root ;
COMMA
ND=/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -slHogDtprcxe.iLsfxC
I don't quite understand it. It appears that
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = 'sudo /usr/bin/rsync';
in my config.pl is overriding
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = 'sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync';
in my freebsd hosts .pl files. Are per-host config files no longer
supported? Is there another way to specify the path for the rsync command
on a per-host or per-OS basis?
Thanks,
