LAN Free backup

[William Jean]

I have a LAN free Windows client that I would like to be able to send backups 
to two different TSM servers.  I would like to know if anyone is currently 
doing this.

Security issues with proxynode

[Matthias Feyerabend]

Just recently I realized that our usage of proxynode feature violates
security standards in UNIX. We have NFS File-Servers lxfsuxx as agent
nodes and a target node lxtsm.

Using  GRant PROXynode server command and   asnodename client option we
allow users to restore data which was backup up on the NFS Fileserver.
But: Users now see not only their own files, they see all files and are
able to restore or retrieve them, not considering the UNIX permissions !

There is a IBM doc APAR IC50565 which explains this and stating that:
... when TSM admin grants a node proxy authority, and you use the
asnodename option to become that node, you can query and restore all
files as if you had root authority.

I wish I had known this before we began using proxynode for our NFS
fileservers !
