Thank you.
note that, depending on your configuration, BackupPC might try to do an nmblookup - even for rsync backups. > >I'm missing something here.

If it were only the 'ssh' commands, I'd say something in some rc script (.profile, .bashrc, .bash_profile ...) on the target host produces that output. If the commands were executed by a shell, I'd say the local shell configuration is at fault. But they aren't. Unless some strange QNAP kernel or Perl modification redirects exec() through a shell ... or /opt/bin/sudo and /opt/bin/ssh are shell scripts ... Hmm. '/opt/bin/sudo -u admin /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 afrodite' probably *does* involve a shell (invoked by sudo). Two things you could try: 1. Change the PingCmd to /bin/true 2. Change the PingCmd: $Conf {PingCmd} = '&{sub {0}}'; The first still does an exec(), but of a single very simple command with full path, without parameters and anything that could resemble shell metacharacters. In particular, /bin/true is unlikely to be patched in a strange way ;-). The second does not do an exec() at all. Do either get rid of the output in the PingCmd case? Do you have shell access to the device? Can you run something like % ssh -q -x -l root afrodite /bin/true or the quoted 'sudo ping' command (as the backuppc user)? Do you get *any* output? Hope that helps.
