Subject: backup exec agent
Hello all,
    I am having some trouble with the backup exec agent for unix.  I
pulled the tarball that came with our version of BE 8.0 and installed
it qithout a hitch on Debian 2.2. I put the backup server listed in
my agent.cfg file into my hosts file with the correct IP and when I
start the agent it starts flawlessly. Using netstat and lsof I can
see that the agent has opened up the right ports. Oh yeah, I have the
correct listing in my services file as well.  The BE server on NT has
"Listen for TCP/IP agents" enabled, but I still never see my agent
listed under the "agents" tree branch in the backup selections menu. 
Anyone on the list have a similar plight with the backup exec agent
or a lot of experience dealing with it?  Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
