vopie Files
The vopie processes use during authentication.
The hashed files contain the authentication challenges that the local system presents to remote systems. Location of hashed Files

- The localhost is the host name of the local system. There will be a local host directory for every possible local host name.
- The remotehost contains the hashed or public key for the remote system named remotehost.
There is a remotehost.txt file for each remote system that can be authenticated. Only root on the local system can read or write these files.
The unhashed files contains the secret key that NetBackup uses when it responds to challenges from remote systems.Location of Unhashed Files

Where:
- localhost is the local system.
- remotehost.txt contains the responses for the remote system named remotehost.
There is a remotehost.txt file for each remote system that can request authentication. These files are created during installation and only root on the local system can read or write these files.
 Caution
Protect the unhashed files by allowing access only by root on the local system. Also, do not NFS-mount them on UNIX or place them on a network drive on Windows.
The bpauthsync command synchronizes the information between the hashed files on one system with the unhashed files on another system. This enables the remote host to offer the correct response when it is challenged.
