Well I was just suggesting using usernames.. Like instead of having
the server run
rdiff-backup --restrict XXXX --force-path-prefix XXXX --server
you could have it run
cd XXXX; sudo -u YYYYY rdiff-backup --restrict . --server
to avoid patching rdiff-backup and for an additional layer of
security. Anyway it's up to you, I'm mainly posting to say I think
the security bug is fixed in CVS. Thank you for the report.
