Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Username

I'm setting up this new Sun StorEdge 5320 and I'm trying to figure out
the username / password issue.  The group owners of the box, don't want
to have Netbackup using their "root" (Administrator?) password to run
NDMP backups, and want to create a service account instead.  Is that
possible?  I don't really manage this box, so I don't know what their
options are, but generally speaking do I have to configure the username
in Netbackup when configuring the device host to always be administrator
and does that have to correspond to their "root" password?  Is it not
possible to create a service level account with full access, having its
own password?  A key concern of theirs is changing the root passwords on
their servers at regular intervals and then having to reconfigure NBU
each time.

Thanks,

-Jonathan
