Don't tempt me... LOL...

Remember, I'm the guy that uses the following DumpPreUserCmd to
avoid having to keep a cleartext version of RsyncdPasswd in my
BackupPC config file... (and thanks to you again for helping me figure
out how to get it finally working)...
                 $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = ["&{sub { 
chomp(\$bpc->{Conf}{RsyncdPasswd} = `$Conf{SshPath} -q -x -l 
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} \$args[0]->{hostIP} /usr/local/bin/shadowmountrsync 
$shadowmountparams`); return(\$? . '\n'); }}"];

Then again my config.pl files have lots of perl code that takes
advantage of the "undocumented"/"unrecommended" fact that the file is
executable perl...
