Hi!
It is called localhost in the /etc/backuppc/hosts file:
host dhcp user moreUsers
localhost 0 backuppc
Then there is a localhost.pl.
And yes, I can ping "localhost" as user backuppc:
$ ping localhost
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=64
time=0.028 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=2 ttl=64
time=0.029 ms
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=3 ttl=64
time=0.028 ms
