[BackupPC-users] Fatal error (bad version): /sbin/nologin: invalid option

[fujisan <bac...@ba...>]

I also think it's coming from the remote side.

Loging in with

su -s /bin/bash - backuppc 

with the '-' as you suggested does not stop the backup from working on the command line.

I also installed backuppc on another server and tried to backup another client (so, 2 different machines involved here), and again the same error message.

Something is being executed on the remote side with option '-c', maybe 'su'. 

I get the same message when I try to run

su backuppc -c ls

from the backuppc server as root
