Re: [BackupPC-users] Working with UNIX clients

Wow, with as precise a call as this is, I'm completely astonished it
wasn't the right one. The main config file _and_ the machine-specific one
contain the same thing:

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -n -l root $host'
                    . ' $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+'
                    . ' --totals';


There _is_ a dash right after that -f. And, further searching on the 'net
doesn't show me any other possible explanations of this.

Any other ideas? :)
