<snip> Your excellent sig has inspired me. :-) I'm guessing you were setting up the NetBackup Access Control ("NBAC") stuff? and/or the Authorization options? or perhaps vopied? (that last one is rarer than hen's teeth, so I'm guessing not...) Just off the cuff, I think you'll be "back to normal" if you just do the following: 1. log in to your master server as root 2. stop the NetBackup daemons with "netbackup stop" or "bp.kill_all" 3. cd /usr/openv/var/authorize.txt; mv authorize.txt bad-authorize.txt 4. vi /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf and change any USE_VXSS values to "PROHIBITED" (and my hunch is that you could probably get away with just doing #4...) Assuming you can now access NBU again, you can take your time figuring out what went wrong! ;-) Here's good reference for the rather-delicate configuration of NetBackup Access Control: http://support.veritas.com/docs/281626 HTH rob _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
