You used the package in the Lucid (10.04) repository, correct? > It kind of feels like the apache user, www-data, is trying to read the > BackupPC user's (backuppc) ssh-agent, but is being denied.

Or is it using your forwarded keys while you are logged in via a terminal? Is perl-suid installed? That is a hack necessary to let index.cgi be setuid backuppc (the Linux kernel doesn't respect setuid on interpreted scripts, but this module lets perl do so). Alternately, install the backuppc 3.2.1 package directly from Precise (12.04). I'm running two Lucid servers with that package and it works fine. It replaces the setuid script with a setuid binary helper that calls the script. Get the .deb directly from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/backuppc Regards, Tyler -- "To have a child is to give fate a hostage." -- John F.
