Probably depends on how Veritas/Symantec has NetBackup coded, as to
whether it checks your effective authorization when you run the command,
or does some kind of check on whether your UID=0. 'man rbac' had a bunch
of info on how to modify code for that, no idea if they read it though.
=) 

If you really want to know whether it works for your environment though,
setup a test server, have them give you full permissions via RBAC, and
see if the CLI commands work. Less than full permissions isn't going to
cut it for Tier 3/4 folks though if that was their goal - too much
catalog manipulation and installation/patching work.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Support of NetBackup with RBAC

We are being pushed to support our netbackup environment, with servers
running on solaris10, using Role Based Access Control (RBAC).  I'm
wondering if anyone out there is doing this?  

It has always been my understanding that netbackup needed to be
installed and supported by the user "root" and NOTHING else.....
Thoughts??

Thanks!

Scott
