I think I could get a shell prompt from most Unix systems using NetBackup, as long as they had xterm available somewhere.

If this is possible, does the media server control the password and can this password be changed. Also, what username does netbackup use and why isn't it in /etc/passwd? (Does Netbackup use a shell when it backs up clients and can this shell be accessed manually using telnet to log into a client.) Thanks, Dirk
