Speaking of adding *@* to the administrators list on the datazone.

How do you feel about that all of the NMM and Oracle clients of the datazone
are specified as administrators on the datazone?

Yes, if you are backing up a Oracle client or NMM client, a user on that
Oracle and NMM system needs to have administrative privilages on the
datazone.

How's that for security?
