You could fix this problem with the careful application of NT permissions.
Nobody gets read or execute permissions but your login.

I tested this and it is a huge security hole.  I re-booted my PC and had
another person logon and they could fire up the Admin Console as if it
were me sitting here.

There actually is not a login/password, but simply a verification of
your system # as defined as a Server.

If I remember correctly, you still have to use a login / password  when
using the admin console.  So even if someone gained access to your PC
they
would need a userid / password for NetBackup administration.

But then does anyone who sits down at your PC have admin access to
Netbackup?
