I've been trying to figure out a way to prevent having to allow shell 
access for backuppc on the clients it needs to backup through ssh/rsync. 
I consider the backuppc account on the clients to be a system account, 
but at the same time, it seems that if I want to provide access through 
ssh, I need to have a shell. Am I correct, or is there some other way?

Best,
Koen
