Is this on all files owned by root or just some?

> Hi there

> I have a backup server setup to backup another server through an
> unprivileged user. The unprivileged user is in the sudoers file and
> kan sudo without password.

> My rdiff-backup command:
> /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --remote-schema 'ssh -C %s nice sudo
> /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /'
> bac...@host.domain.com::/ /data2/backup/host/

> So how I see it is that I should be able to read all files, no matter
> what permissions? However I get errors like this on files owned by
> root with r/w on user only:

> ListError /etc/exim4/passwd.client [Errno 13] Permission denied:
> '/etc/exim4/passwd.client'

> A test locally on the server I backup with the backup user and sudo
> gives no trouble.

> Ideas?
