No, they remain under /etc: root@venkman:~# ls -la /etc/backuppc/ total 260 drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc www-data 4096 2011-07-08 20:45 . drwxr-xr-x 102 root root 4096 2011-07-13 03:40 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc www-data 666 2011-07-01 20:56 apache.conf -rw-r----- 1 backuppc www-data 80317 2011-07-08 20:44 config.pl ... The files are readable by the web server, but owned by backuppc. It's the daemon which runs as itself, using setuid: root@venkman:~# ls -la /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-07-01 21:20 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2011-06-29 14:28 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2011-06-29 14:28 image -> ../image -rwsr-x--- 1 backuppc www-data 3993 2011-06-30 09:46 index.cgi Regards, Tyler -- "You think that a wall as solid as the earth separates civilization from barbarism.
