I'm backing up a host behind a router/firewall which in general works fine.

The firewall forwards only the ssh port and blocks ping requests. So I
tried to set PingCmd to something like

$sshPath -l root $host /bin/true

Running this manually (as user backuppc) correctly returns 0 on success
255 when the host can't be reached. But backuppc complains that pings to
host have failed?! Any idea why this won't work?

Thanks
Daniel
