 Hi,

I would like to notice a behavior that (I think) should be modified.
By default, my ping and ssh executables have the following file attributes :

-rwsr-x--- 1 root ntools  34920 2010-04-18 12:31
/bin/ping                                                                      

-rwxr-x--- 1 root ntools 360896 2010-06-07 22:17 /usr/bin/ssh

The cgi interface displays a red warning which says that the files are
not executable for user backuppc.

This would be true if backuppc was not in the unix group ntools.
On the command line, I can run any of these commands when I am logged in
as user backuppc.

To bypass the problem, I modified the file attributes as :

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root ntools  34920 2010-04-18 12:31
/bin/ping                                                                      

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root ntools 360896 2010-06-07 22:17 /usr/bin/ssh

But I think that the warning should not appear.
I did not try to run any backup while the warning was displayed. It is
possible that this does not prevent backuppc from doing its job.

Regards.

Xuo.
