(Apologies if this has already been mentioned) |

Another (maybe less intrusive, although slightly less efficient) option |
| 12 |
is to install the BackupPC_Admin CGI as setuid so that it runs as user |
| 13 |
backuppc (this is how I run BackupPC-2.1.2-r1). This does not require a |
| 14 |
different instance of apache, nor it requires to use mod_perl. It does, |
| 15 |
however, require USE=perlsuid, but this is already supported by gentoo. |
