No, because the connections are initiated from the BackupPC server. The client does not log into the server, unless you have some arrangement that allows the client to log in (perhaps to set up a tunnel or the like). Even then, there's no reason to log in as root. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
