Veritas NetBackup version 9.1 change password for accounts nbusvc and nbwebsvc
If I changed the passwords for the nbusvc and nbwebsvc accounts in the Veritas NetBackup version 9.1 on the master server, I just need to do this with the passwd command on the server with RHEL 7, or maybe somewhere else?
Hi jsivrts
If these are the accounts you are using for NBU Web services and to run most of the NetBackup services, then there is no requirement for them to have a password at all (RHEL is not Windows) - you should not be logging in as these users so there is no need for a password, and if you need to perform operations as one of these users, then you would use the "su" utility as root to change ID (e.g. '# su nbusvc'). I would also be careful that you don't have any password expiry attached to the accounts (if the account becomes locked, then I don't believe the services will start).
