Yes, this works so long as I override the RsyncSshArgs in the host
config to include the correct port.

Hi Ian,
I'm not sure why it would suddenly stop working for you as that seems like a
completely legitimate solution.
FWIW, this is the command I use for unpingable clients:
$Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/echo $host';
Best of luck!

Just add everything you want to /etc/hosts on the backuppc server.

It seems like the first line is the real failure, and the ping is never
attempted.
Apologies for the list to

The documentation suggests to alter PingPath rather than PingCmd:

Unless I'm missing something, this seems to be important: 2024-04-05

Have you tried adding an entry to your hosts file just to get past this and
allow further troubleshooting?

Are you sure it's supposed to be /usr/bin/true and not just /bin/true?
