A substantial amount of code development is required to
make Filesys::SmbClient work with BackupPC.

whatever makes sense (see below :). The point is that anyone with write
permission to - and that's the important part - *either* script *or* *any*
parent directory would be able to replace the script by something of his/her
own creation, thus not only circumventing the supposed restriction (context:
limiting priviledges given to the BackupPC user through sudo), but rather
giving *anyone at all* with such write permission the possibility to run
*any command* as root, if he can only get BackupPC to run (his modified
version of) the script (i.e. initiate a backup or wait for a scheduled one).
Owner write permission is not something you can meaningfully remove since
the owner can chmod() a file/directory however he likes anyway (except
maybe on ext2/3 if you make the file/dir immutable ...).
This probably means that all parent directories and the script itself should
be *owned by root* and *not writeable* for group and others. Actually, I'd
recommend not using that approach at all. If I'm not completely mistaken
[read: it is documented and proves to work that way on Debian sarge ;-],
you can achieve the same with a sudoers line like
backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar -c *
You just need to make sure you always pass the -c as first and separate
argument to tar (in $Conf{TarClientCmd}), as the following will all *not*
match, because in all cases the first argument to tar is not '-c':
/bin/tar -v -c ...
/bin/tar -cf ...
/bin/tar c -f ...
Note that automatic restores through the web interface will no longer work,
as BackupPC cannot initiate the TarClientRestoreCmd (tar -x).
Was your question related to the thread you are referencing
("BackupPC_link errors")?

Holger

[BackupPC-users] Backing up localhost - permission question
Hello all:
I am setting up localhost to be backed up. In the help file at
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/localhost.html there is the
following blurb:
"Make sure this script and all parent directories have no write
permission. Then remove the -c from $Conf{TarClientCmd}
and change the tar path:"
Is this write permission for owner, group, others or all three?
Thanks,
Eric Snyder

You could also try the packages from "Debian proper"...the recently-released 4.0/Etch (as in, a few days ago) may have a newer version, or possibly the unstable aka "sid" version. Despite the "unstable" moniker, I find Debian sid packages to be very reliable in most cases. All of that is assuming you decide not to go the CPAN route as Chris suggested, which would almost certainly get you what you want if going outside APT isn't a hangup for you. -- John Buttery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Administrator - Take Surveys.

Thanks for the reply. My system is running Ubuntu, so I don't know if this yum repository is compatible. The libfile-rsyncp-perl package is only version 0.52, and I don't know what source to add that might have an updated version 0.68. Does anyone else here use ubuntu and know of an updated package?

This is the standard config setting:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host'
. ' env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+'
. ' --totals';

$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';
$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';

[BackupPC-users] Using Filesys::SmbClient for smb
Hiya,
I am trying to make use of the Smbclient perl module for backing up my WinXX
machines. The steps I have taken are as detailed below
1. Installed the perl module
2. Loaded the perl module "SmbClient.pm" using the parameter
***$Conf{PerlModuleLoad}
After this step I do not know where to go. Should I go and change the
smbclient path and if yes what will be the path to (smbclient.pm ??)
thanks in advance.
cheers...
