Re: [BackupPC-users] backuppc

Hi Les

Many thanks for your help.

I was able to login as backuppc user and then set up the keys and backup at last!!

Regards Richard

'backuppc' does not appear on the list of users so I cannot log in as backuppc, although it will not allow me to add a user backuppc as it says there is one already. I wonder how you would suggest I test the connection as I have the same problem as soume86.

Try
sudo su -
to become root
then
su -s /bin/bash backuppc
to become the backuppc user even if it doesn't have a normal shell.
