[BackupPC-users] Bug reports? nss_ldap and BackupPC
Hi, I've tested this against BackupPC 2.1.2 and BackupPC 3.0 on Gentoo Linux. Basically in both cases I can get BackupPC working fine. Then when I try to "LDAP enable" my system (i.e. I install and configure pam_ldap and nss_ldap) BackupPC will stop working. Specifically BackupPC will fail to "daemonize". When I add "ldap" entries to /etc/nsswitch.conf the command "/usr/bin/BackupPC -d" stops working, however I can still run "/usr/bin/BackupPC" in the foreground. When I remove the "ldap" entries from /etc/nsswitch.conf BackupPC works fine once more. I think this is a bug where do I send the bug reports?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup from localhost failed
Matthias Meyer wrote: > Is it right that localhost use ssh? Well it will work if the backuppc user has the proper credentials to login to localhost as root. It seems that this might not be the case. You don't need to use ssh and probably shouldn't however. I'd recommend using rsync or tar to backup localhost and just give the backuppc user sudo permissions. -- Randy Barlow http://electronsweatshop.com But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Just after installation it works. But then I delete the localhost and add a new with localhost=anotherhost.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Should you have to patch BackupPC/Lib.pm?
Tony writes: > That's correct. The code winds up looking either in /etc, or in > $TOPDIR/conf, neither of which is correct. On FreeBSD, it would go in > /usr/local/etc/BackupPC (or /usr/local/etc/backuppc, whichever). Ok, it's fixed. The makeDist script fails to change the hardcoded value back to __CONFDIR__. When the tarball release is created, this line in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: ConfDir=> $confDir eq "" ? '/etc/BackupPC' : $confDir, should become: ConfDir=> $confDir eq "" ? '__CONFDIR__' : $confDir, so that configure.pl can substitute the correct value. You figured out the workaround - you can simply edit the correct value in Lib.pm after configure.pl is run.

[BackupPC-users] PostXXXXCmd REMOTEUSER $ubstitution
Hi all.
I utilise the so-called 'User Commands' for mail-outs on pretty much
every operation that would be of interest to those caring about the
management of their data. Due to the configured shared nature of access
to initiating ops in BackupPC at my site, I need to specifically address
the name of the initiating user in the body text of each mail-out for
each operation so others in the group can see what has been requested.
I use the following substitutions already:
$user = name of a mail group representing the individuals sharing
the workstation(s)
$moreUsers = individuals names ie. the people in the mail group
Now, the next substitution may exist elsewhere but I have no idea how to
get them into my User Command:
$REMOTEUSER = the person initiating as one of the people from
moreUsers (or any other area BackupPC gets ACL)
Can anyone kindly suggest a way to do this because at present I haven't
been successful in a naive attempt at using $ENV{REMOTEUSER} within the
PostCmd Perl script I have. Given it is not called CGI it's hardly
surprising I guess.
Thanks,
-- Mark
