Thank you for your reply. I checked in to it, and determined that there 
isn't anything being output by logging in to the backuppc system and "su 
backuppc" then "ssh root@cpanel":

[backuppc@backuppc ~]$ ssh root@cpanel
Last login: Sat Sep 26 16:08:46 2009 from backuppc
root@cpanel [~]#

However, I did find that /etc/motd existed and was empty. I deleted it 
to see what would happen on the next backup cycle. SSHing into the 
client system under a normal user also does not result in any MOTD's or 
warning messages.
