Yes, I am aware of that. The BackupPC ebuild should support either way, |
| 10 |
as there is a speedup of about 15x (according to the BackupPC author) |
| 11 |
when running the webserver as user backuppc. There should be a USE |
| 12 |
variable controlling this. Also, it is wise to not put backuppc on the |
| 13 |
same instance of apache so that it can run on a non-standard port. The |
| 14 |
ebuild by default would not install any password control to backuppc, |
| 15 |
and so the web interface would be open. |
