Sounds, like the run around. I have to believe PowerBroker can be setup to have specific pbrun like functions for each thing you need to do. If not, it is useless product. I suspect pbrun is wide open to run any command as root.

Our company uses Powerbroker access instead of sudo and they don't want to give us pbrun su-root privileges.

Pl look at sudo command acts as proxy for root only for that cmd.

We just converted to TSM 4.2.1.9 from NetBackup. We are finding that our group needs to be able to stop the TSM daemons and start the start up script, instead of always having the system admin. do this. Right now I am told that there is no work around for root privileges being needed to kill the TSM daemons. I'm wondering how other shops get around this problem? When our TSM server crashes, all of the clients that are getting backed up are getting hung schedulers and need to be bounced to resume working. The fact that root privileges are needed to bounce the daemons is adding on days to our resolution, since we have to open a problem ticket with the system admin. group and wait for them to bounce the daemons. We have ids on most of the unix servers and could do it, if the permissions allowed. Any ideas?? Do any of you have a work around for this problem? Tivoli had me open an enhancement request. ....Cheryl Cheryl Miller Wells Fargo Bank Distributed Storage Management (DSM) 916-774-2073
