Because these particular users will only be allowed to run rdiff-backup
over ssh. They can do nothing else (no interactive login, etc.) - because
the chroot is so tight and restrictive, it is a bad idea to give a general
purpose interpretor like python there. Bottom line, I didn't architect it
or specify the requirements - they were handed to me. Standalone
rdiff-backup. The end.

i`m not sure, but will any python compiler (or whatever) create _real_
standalone executables ?
I'm pretty sure that is what they do, I've just never used them and wanted
to do a sanity check first. Has anyone done this ?
Thanks.
