Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc user privileges

add backuppc to a more privileged group and setup sudo so that you can run some very specific Backuppc_* commands without a password. Also, remove the password for the user backuppc in the CGI interface and config some other user to have access to all so that the CGI can't be exploited to run commands as the backuppc use(easily anyway).

Either use a special sudo command or just use tar over ssh to backup
locally.
