yes, I run configure.pl before copying the init script to /etc/init.d

The name of the BackupPC user is "backuppc"  (uid = 1000 , gid = 501)

When I set  the  "$Conf{BackupPCUserVerify} = 1" the  BackupPC Software
started, but the owner of the processes is root  :-(

Here the "verbose" output of an attempt  to start BackupPC:
-----
 >  sh -x /etc/init.d/backuppc  start
+ set -e
+ BINDIR=/home/backuppc/bin
+ DATADIR=/data/BackupPC
+ LOGDIR=/var/log/BackupPC
+ USER=backuppc
+ NAME=backuppc
+ DAEMON=BackupPC
+ test -x /home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC
+ case "$1" in
+ echo -n 'Starting backuppc: '
Starting backuppc: + startproc -v -f -p /var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.pid 
-u backuppc -g www /home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d
17688
+ echo ok.
ok.
+ exit 0
 /home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC: Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead of 
1000 (backuppc)
Please su backuppc first
BackupPC::Lib->new failed
---------------

When starting the software with

"start-stop-daemon --start --user ${USER} --chuid ${USER} --pidfile 
$LOGDIR/BackupPC.pid --exec $BINDIR/$DAEMON"

I get the message  "start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option `--chuid'"

Without --chuid  :

 /home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC/home/backuppc/bin/BackupPC: Wrong user: my 
userid is 0, instead of 1000 (backuppc)
Please su backuppc first
BackupPC::Lib->new failed

maybe a problem with perl on the machine ?

any idea ?
