What DOES work? (Let's not try this on a production system, shall we?) Also, is the new nbgp on Windows? --- W.

If it is, it's time for an email campaign. Some see it as a security hole, and I think that's ridiculous. Anybody who is root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any client any time they want via a backup/restore command. Removing bpgp only makes it take a few minutes instead of a few seconds. Other complaints about it over the years have been that it doesn't check for like/like. You can overwrite a directory with a file if you tell it to. For example, the following command would be VERY BAD! WRONGWAY# bpgp to client /etc/hosts /etc #DON'T DO THIS While this would be perfectly valid syntax with copy, cp, rcp, mv, etc, it is NOT proper syntax with bpgp. The command above would overwrite the /etc DIRECTORY with /etc/hosts, which, of course, would not be good for your client. (Some have even overwritten their root mount point.) Perhaps they got too many calls from people that did just that. Of course, about five lines of code could have fixed that problem. It doesn't allow you to copy a directory, but it doesn't check if what you're copying to is a directory. A simple check that the target file is or is not a directory would have sufficed. If it was a directory, it could just exit with error. But they chose instead to just pretend the command didn't exist. It's not documented; there's not even a Usage statement in the command itself, even if you do strings. If you call support and complain they tell you it's not supported. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ______________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
