I'm not aware that the NSR jukebox resource would do anything for you. The user doesn't need to update/modify this resource, they need to be able to do things like import/export/label/inventory tapes, stuff like that.

The command line nsrjb binary is nice since it allows you to label tapes using multiple drives. The wadmin GUI too seems limited to whatever drive you select. Also, the Unix version of nwadmin does not offer an import/export tape feature like the Windows version does, so on Unix machines, nsrjb is what is needed. Just don't see how using nsradmin will accomplish that?

Hello

Yes it's possible.
Two ways.

It's possible on Solaris using RBAC (/etc/security directory).
The other way is to use an nsradmin script by updating the "NSR jukebox 
ressource"

Hi,

Is it possible for a non-root user, who is on the administator list, to be able to run the nsrjb command without resorting to Sudo? It appears that only the super user can run this, as the non-root administrator receives:

nsrjb: You are not authorized to run this command.

and the user was logged in on the primary server and storage node, and is listed for each in the server setup.

Seems that if you can perform functions like labeling, inventorying, etc. via the GUI then you should be able to do it from the command line, too, using nsrjb? Why does NetWorker not allow this? Am I missing something? The file permissions on the binary allow it, but looks like NetWorker is still saying 'no' if you're not super user. The command line is preferred for many things but looks like only the Sudo utility will be a work around? Not opposed to it, just asking.

Also, are there other NetWorker binaries that a non-root user cannot run BUT that a backup tape operator or assistant would need? nsrjb is the main one I can think of.

Thanks.

George
