NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Verifying and correcting file permissions using nbfp command

Use the nbfp command to verify and correct file permissions required for STIG compliance.

The nbfp command resets the file permissions of the NetBackup installation directory to the default values.

To verify and correct file permissions

  1. Run the following command to verify file permissions:

    nbfp--verify [--path=path1 [path2...pathn]] [--exclude_path=path1 [path2...pathn]] [--exclude_large_dirs] [--silent] [--verbose] [--json]

  2. Run the following command to fix the file permissions:

    nbfp --fix [--path=path1 [path2...pathn]] [--exclude_path=path1 [path2...pathn]] [--exclude_large_dirs] [--silent] [--verbose] [--json]
