Did you install a distribution-packaged version of backuppc or use the
Sourceforge tarball? If you did it yourself, you need to configure
apache to require authentication. The packaged versions should
include that part for you but you have to run htpasswd to add the
users/passwords yourself.

That part doesn't make any sense to me either. I thought you said
that you couldn't see the 3rd host in the web interface selection.
How are you providing the URL to access it? You must somehow be
bypassing the path that triggers the authentication requirement.

AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile are apache configuration directives
where you specify the paths to the actual files containing the data.
These can be in the main (or included) config file or in an .htaccess
file in the directory containing the web page or cgi script and
control the web server where backuppc is running.
