On my machine
[r...@shannon ~]#
[r...@shannon ~]# su - backuppc
[backu...@shannon ~]$
see changed user to backuppc
[backu...@shannon ~]$ /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u
moll...@mail.x.y.z
Sending test email using /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f backuppc
[backu...@shannon ~]$ grep root /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[backu...@shannon ~]$ grep backuppc /etc/passwd
backuppc:x:490:490: BackupPC User :/home/backuppc:/bin/bash
