What distro? Installed from what source?
Installing on Ubuntu hardy from the distro packages, most files are owned by
root:root with normal permissions. Excecptions:
-rwsr-x--- backuppc www-data /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi
drwxr-xr-x backuppc www-data /etc/backuppc
-rw-r--r-- backuppc www-data /etc/backuppc/apache.conf
-rw-r----- backuppc www-data /etc/backuppc/config.pl
-rw-r----- backuppc www-data /etc/backuppc/hosts
drwxr-x--- backuppc backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
drwxr-x--- backuppc backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/cpool
drwxr-x--- backuppc backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/pc
drwxr-x--- backuppc backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/pool
drwxr-x--- backuppc backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/trash
The web server runs as www-data:www-data, can read the cgi, and the cgi runs
as setuid backuppc. Then the backuppc user can read/write anything else that
matters. I suppose the most obvious thing to check is "what user does your
index.cgi run as?"
