Hello Muyiwa, I'm in your debt a second time. I spent a significant amount of time trying to figure this out last week. I came in on Monday morning, and within seconds was able to verify that if I had just logged in as "administrator", everything was already working properly.
Amazing how technology is... sometimes you just need a second set of eyes to look at the problem. Your help is much appreciated, Justin Best 503.906.7611 Voice 561.828.0496 Fax -----Original Message----- From: Olumuyiwa Taiwo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:59 PM To: Justin Best Cc: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] I get the error "Only privileged users can...'' Hello Justin, 1. An ADS domain group is fine. You don't need local Linux groups, so revert to $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = 'backuppcadmins'; in your config.pl file, but note that you have a space in your own setting, which shouldn't be there. 2. I was tempted to say that you hadn't included the line: winbind use default domain = yes in your smb.conf file. You do have it, and also when you do: bs-pc115:~# getent group | grep backuppcadmins, you get the correct response. So, winbind is correctly stripping the domain information off the beginning of the Active Directory user ID's. You'll also notice that the usernames returned by your getent command are all lowercase, and therefore, when you use them on the Linux box (i.e. Winbind+Apache+PAM), they must be typed in lowercase. In your case, you must type "administrator", and NOT "Administrator" 3. Your REMOTE_USER environment variable is listed as *PDXMISSION\Administrator. *My guess is that this is what you're typing in the login box to access BackupPC's web interface. Again, as I've said above, you must type "administrator", or "justinb", since he's also in the backuppcadmins group. Lose the "PDXMISSION". 4. In your config.pl file, the setting $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = ' backuppcadmins'; has a space in front of the word backuppcadmins. My guess is that BackupPC is looking for a Linux group called ' backuppcadmins', i.e., with a space (which doesn't exist - what exists is 'backuppcadmins', without the space :-) ) 5. I SUGGEST THAT YOU: a. Take out the space in front of ' backuppcadmins' in your $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} b. Restart BackupPC, Apache, and Winbind c. Login to the CGI interface using just "administrator" or "justinb", i.e. no "PDXMISSION" Try this and let me know how you get on.
