Hi Les,

I was hoping you'd chime in.  So, with your help, and somebody named 
bimal (http://fedoranews.org/blog/?p=603 - thanks yahoo) I got the 
cgi-admin going and I think backuppc is running.  Thank you for the 
rescue.  (I think suidperl, was my problem).

Is there a quick way to add clients to be backed up?  I'm wondering if 
you have an example of the config needed to backup the entire home and 
etc directories of a k12ltsp server, for example?  Have you ever backed 
up any os x macs using this?  Any gotchas there?

A k12ltsp install would be the same as the equivalent fedora version.

There may be an rpm version somewhere, but I don't think it is up
to date.

Perl should have already been part of your k12ltsp install, and the
needed perl modules could have been installed with the perl
CPAN module easier than doing it by hand - type:
perl -MCPAN -eshell (you can usually answer 'no' to the first time
question about setup and just go with the defaults).  Than at the
CPAN prompt enter
install module_name
and 'quit' when done.
If you followed the instructions to create a backuppc user to own
everything, you may be having apache permission problems caused
by selinux.  Turn it off.  Also, you need the setuid version of
perl.  'yum install perl-suidperl' if you are using the stock version
of perl or compile with that option if you really built your own.
Look in /var/log/httpd/error_log to see what problem you are having
if it still doesn't work.
