Details:

If you use rdiff-backup with an account that has no shell which e.g. might
happen after a system upgrade you get a misleading error message:

see
http://serverfault.com/questions/742442/what-do-do-when-rdiff-backup-memoryerror-happens

Exception '' raised of class '<type 'exceptions.MemoryError'>':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 304, in
error_check_Main
    try: Main(arglist)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 321, in
Main
    rps = map(SetConnections.cmdpair2rp, cmdpairs)


But this is by no means a MemoryError.

"This account is currently not available" is returned by ssh would be the
message that would clearly state what the state of affairs ist.
