And if you're going to do that, try 'MobaXterm'.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel

When you say "NetBackup Administration Console" exactly what command are you 
running?

The jnbSA can actually be started from UNIX/Linux but since it is Java is 
sending an X window to you.   If the console you're talking about is also 
Java/X you have to enable X forwarding in your PuTTY session.  
The specific setting is under Connection-->SSH-->X11.   In that screen click 
the check box next to Enable X11 forwarding.  It defaults to MIT-Magic-Cookie-1.
Once you have that and do the login to the server via PuTTY it will create a 
.Xauthority file in your UNIX/Linux user's home directory and also set your 
DISPLAY variable (echo $DISPLAY to see what it set it to - usually something 
like localhost:0.0).

That prepares the connection to allow X applications to be launched and 
tunneled back over the same connection to your Windows system.

However, Windows by default doesn't understand X so you have to have an X 
emulator installed (and running) on Windows.   A common commercial one many 
people use is Exceed.   A free one you can get by installing Cygwin (Linux on 
top of Windows) on your Windows system with the X11 packages.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel

I am trying to use the Netbackup Administration Console as I believe it has 
certain advantages over the jnbSA jave interface.  There are fire walls between 
my Windows machine where I want to run Administration Console and the redhat 
server which is the netbackup master server.  To this end I have been trying to 
use putty tunnelling opening up ports 1556 13724 and 13782.  I have heard on 
this forum that this is possible but I cannot get it to work.  It would be 
great if someone could give me some information on how to do this. 
Thanks
Nigel
