But it is easier to authenticate using your TSM admin id (assuming your TSM admin id has either SYSTEM level authority or TSM DOMAIN level authority for the TSM domain that ABC belongs to). When you enter dsmc -virtualnodename=ABC, a box will pop up for you to put in the ABC password. OVERTYPE the nodename ABC in the box with your TSM admin id, and for password put in your TSM admin password. It's much easier than changing passwords on the clients (our clients use PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, so NOBODY knows what the passwords are on a given day...)

To restore a Solaris file from client ABC to an alternate Solaris client DEF, run this on DEF: dsmc -virtualnodename=ABC You will have to authenticate by using ABC's password, but you should then be able to restore the desired file(s). -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
