Package: backuppc Version: 2.1.0-10 Severity: normal The backuppc user is installed without valid shell. While this is a standard security measure, this also prevent command line use, such as presented in documentation: su backuppc -c /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info su backuppc -c /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup all etc...
Just switching shell to /bin/sh is enough to fix this issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-zarb1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages backuppc depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii apache2 2.0.53-5 next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-worker [apache2] 2.0.53-5 high speed threaded model for Apac ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.27 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.14-1 Module for manipulation of ZIP arc ii libcompress-zlib-perl 1.34-1 Perl module for creation and manip ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.8.4-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-suid 5.8.4-6 Runs setuid Perl scripts ii samba-common 3.0.10-1 Samba common files used by both th ii smbclient 3.0.10-1 a LanManager-like simple client fo ii tar 1.13.93-4 GNU tar ii wwwconfig-common 0.0.42 Debian web auto configuration -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
