[BackupPC-users] Documentation error

2012-03-18 Thread Justin Finkelstein
Hi guys

I've found what I believe to be a minor typo in the SSH FAQ entry. The
sudoers line given by Martin Hansen:

backuppc  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender *

Doesn't work as shown on CentOS 6; to make it work, remove the space
before the asterisk so it becomes:

backuppc  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender*

Could we get a consensus on which works for different platforms? I'd
like to see the FAQ updated if this is true for other OSes.

All the best,

Justin

 backuppc  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender *
works without any flaws on Arch Linux (as client).
but I guess the other command should work too since * matches  *

It works on my Debian systems as well, with the space.
