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.
Hmm -- that might actually be useful. So I take it the client can use
relative paths (ie. "server::backup" instead of "server::/backup", or at
worst "server::./backup" and it'll be evaluated relative to the cwd)?
Separate per-client user accounts is impractical for my purposes for
reasons I've already discussed -- but using relative paths could indeed
make my patch unnecessary. Thanks for the suggestion!
