Package: backuppc
Version: 2.1.1-2
Severity: important

I have been running BackupPC since version 1.5x (somewhere back there). I was 
glad to see it had become available in Sarge and just installed it today. I've 
been migrating over to the new configuration but am hitting a snag whereby the 
index.cgi script is not being run setuid despite the settings:

  -rwsr-xr-x  1 backuppc backuppc 3925 2005-05-18 18:03 index.cgi*

When running the script from the browser, I receive the following error:

  Error: Wrong user: my userid is 33, instead of 1009(backuppc)

I get the same error with 'userid is 0' when I try to run the script from the 
command line. I'm not familiar with suidperl so don't know what to debug to get 
this script working as it should.


Thanks,
William
