This is what we do.

sudo chgrp backupuser /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/*

sudo chgrp backupuser /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/*

sudo chgrp backupuser /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/*

sudo chmod u+s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/*

sudo chmod u+s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/*

sudo chmod u+s /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/*

sudo chmod g+rx /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps

sudo chmod g+rx /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/*

sudo chmod g+rx /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/*

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Non-root administration

Folks,

Can I ask the group with UNIX Master Servers how they administer NetBackup? We have just moved up to 6.5 on Solaris 10 from 5.x and discovered the nonroot_admin script is gone. I could re-apply the equivalent manually but this method obviously has limitations.

I need to be able to run various commands use these in scripts and edit certain files on the Master and the UNIX admin won’t give me root access. Will sudo help here?

Regards,
