Just to verify: you mean that you changed the "User=" and "Group=" lines in the "[Service]" section in your service file? Did you "sudo systemctl daemon-reload" after changing these? What does "sudo service backuppc status" say? This really smells like a systemd execution problem to me. The only thing I see BackupPC doing to verify its uid is checking the value of '$>' during startup; if it thinks its process uid is 33, that's gotta be because systemd is invoking it as that user. _</email>_ Rob Sheldon _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
