Thomas,

Thomas,

thanks for your answer, but i'm afraid i did not describe my
problem clear enough.

As far as i understand, must dsm be executed on the ADSM
client in order to respect the user rights. We'd like to
achieve that the CAD user must noch leave his workstation

The CAD user should have a simple command which calls
a dsm on his solaris file server and displays the
dsm GUI on the users workstation. This could be
done with rsh but is not accepted by the solaris
administrator.

Is there another method available?

By default, a user can only restore files owned by him. Only
if a user explicitly grants the privilege to another user to
restore his files can someone access backed up files that he does
not own.

This restriction does not, of course, apply to the root user.
