Thanks, that helps indeed !
My problem is that I installed backuppc on a cheap NAS (a synology, with a huge
RAID array) and the thing is "busybox" based and I don't want to mess with
their "apache" (which is very limited) build and config. I tried, but only way
to make it work was to run backuppc as `root` whis is... like... not something
to do.
So I compiled Lightttpd and use it for communications with backuppc.
From your answer, all that I need to do is play a little with Lighttpd ACL
mechanism, which should be doable :)
Thanks a lot
