Dear list,
I have an issue installing backuppc on my new network disk running
Linux 4.2.8 ARMv71. I think I have managed all preconditions in perl
(v5.28.1) and are ready to install, but I run into an issue with
configure.pl

It doesn't let me set the user to run BackupPC with. See the snapshot
of the script output below:
--> BackupPC should run as user [backuppc]
getpwnam() says that user backuppc doesn't exist. Please
check the name and verify that this user is in the passwd file.
But the user does exist on my system, see:
[/.../BackupPC-4.3.1] # grep backuppc /etc/passwd
backuppc:x:1000:1000::/share/homes/Backupuser/:
I cannot seem to workaround this problem. Does anyone have any leads?
Thanks a lot!
For what it's worth, I've seen this behavior when shadow hasn't
properly been updated, and it took (takes?) running vipw, then
rebooting. YMMV
hi,
Might need an entry where the shell for the user normally goes.
This is what my entry looks like:
backuppc:x:988:983::/var/lib/BackupPC:/sbin/nologin
