Yes, Access Control Lists.  Basically, anyone who has access to the backuppc
interface has access to every file anyone has on backuppc.  It's not a huge
problem, but it would be nice if you could set things up so that normal
users could restore their own files (and not be able to restore payroll.xls
from the finance machine).
