Hello,
I have a small question regarding a "configuration file" for BackupPC.
BackupPC requires a file for apache users. This file is referenced in /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf and points to /usr/share/BackupPC/apache.users.
I think that is a mistake, and such a file should better be placed in /etc/BackupPC/apache.users.
If I change the path in conf.d/BackupPC.conf ; users who have modified the .conf file will get a conf.rpmnew file ; that's fine. The ones who did not change the .conf file will have it replaced by RPM, breaking the apache authentication.
Any thoughts about that?
To give a slightly different opinion, I'd move the users file but put a symlink in the old place pointing to the new place ... then both old and new config. files will work. As other said, watch out for relabeling etc.
