Hi Bob,
Thanks for the feedback!
The symptoms you are getting are due to how I designed the script with
backuppc being a system user without shell etc. As such, it is not
related to BackupPC version - you can make BackupPC 4 work the way you
are used to.
There are many options for you to support your routines, here are a few:
- You can do 'sudo -u backuppc ssh-copy-id user@targethost' as it is
with the current setup
- You can change the shell for backuppc with 'sudo chsh backuppc'
- You can reinstall fresh and choose another style for the backuppc user
(change the adduser command by removing --shell /bin/false and --system)
If you have a lot of hosts, it may make sense to use orchestration tools
that manage ssh keys instead.
Hope this helps,
Johan

Just rebuilt an Ubuntu 18.04 with the
"Installing-BackupPC-4-from-tarball-or-git-on-Ubuntu" script that Mr.
Ehnberg recently updated.
When I try to ssh-copy-id "su - backuppc" does not work. When I "su -
backuppc -s /bin/bash:" I get a "backuppc@[myhostname]:~$" command
prompt. That is I am getting a username@hostname command prompt rather
than just a "$".
In the days of version 3 I always used "su - backuppc" from root and
it always gave me a "$" prompt and then I got use to the manner
"ssh-copy-id" worked.
Now, with version 4, this required activity is different and troublesome.
What is the proper ssh-copy-id command process used by other people
who have used the Ehnberg script to setup BackupPC to copy the ssh
keys to the clients?
