Because these particular users will only be allowed to run rdiff-backup
over ssh.  They can do nothing else (no interactive login, etc.) - because
the chroot is so tight and restrictive, it is a bad idea to give a general
purpose interpretor like python there.  Bottom line, I didn't architect it
or specify the requirements - they were handed to me.  Standalone
rdiff-backup.  The end.

I'm pretty sure that is what they do, I've just never used them and wanted
to do a sanity check first.  Has anyone done this ?

Thanks.
