Package: backuppc Severity: minor
I use cfs to encrypt the files created by backuppc. This is done to prevent a thief from gaining access to the backed up files if the backup computer is stolen. Unfortunately there is a minor problem bacause the start/stop script in /etc/init.d puts a pid file in $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid to keep track of a running instance of the program. In my case the DATADIR is a sym link to /crypt/backuppc - the encrypted file system. Cfs is fussy about file ownership and prevents the root from creating BackupPC.pid in that directory. A simple fix would be to change /etc/init.d/backuppc so it puts the pid file in /var/run/BackupPC.pid instead of $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 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 apache 1.3.33-6 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb pn libarchive-zip-perl Not found. pn libcompress-zlib-perl Not found. ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction pn perl-suid Not found. pn samba-common | samba-tng-comm Not found. pn smbclient Not found. ii tar 1.14-2 GNU tar ii wwwconfig-common 0.0.43 Debian web auto configuration -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
