Hi, I have Solaris 8 boxes running ipfilter 3.4.31 (upgrade!) where one serves as the Netbackup server (4.5) and others serve as clients. I was lazy on my server and client and just set point-to-point "take all traffic" rules for both clients and the server:
pass in from [remote IP] to [local IP] pass out from [local IP] to [remote IP] This let netbackup do its thing. In my case, I have full control over both clients and server, even if they are on different subnets and I don't trust other machines on the remote subnets. A more picky approach would be to only allow traffic for the following Netbackup ports: bprd 13720/tcp bprd bpjava-msvc 13722/tcp bpjava-msvc bpcd 13782/tcp bpcd vopied 13783/tcp vopied vnetd 13724/tcp vnetd ----------------------------------- Jeff A.
