If you've built the RPM from the boxbackup-0.8 tar file then there's a
bug in the spec file that fails to create the box user. Maybe that's why
its failing.

useradd -c "Box Backup" -u 171 -s /sbin/nologin -r -d /var/empty box

should fix you up.

Otherwise look for error messages. These will be in /var/log/messages by
default.

Ben - I think you can probably apply the rpm fixes - we haven't heard
back on SUSE but there weren't major changes so it'll probably be ok. If
not, then I'm sure we'll hear!

Cheers,

Martin.
