Just checked my server and the rights are the same as yours..

This is correct.
Root has RWCF rights here too.

I opened an incident with Veritas three years ago (see further down this
newsgroup) and got an answer from Veritas:

When the BESTART.NCF batch file is run with its default settings full
Read,Write, Create and File Scan rights to the sub-directories & files
within the SYS:BKUPEXEC directory are given to the ROOT of the NDS Tree.

This behavior is by design. However, in some cases such rights might not
be desired by the Novell Administrator. The default rights setting is
created so that all users can gain access to creating backup jobs,
installing Windows Agents, and installing the Windows Clients. The default
setup can be modified by adding a specific switch to the LOAD command
within the BESTART.NCF file and modifying the initially created Rights.
Below are the steps for changing the default permissions:
1. Modify the rights to the SYS:BKUPEXEC directory as needed using
NWADMIN32. You can
remove the [Root] from the Trustees list
2. Exit the Netware Admin console and execute Bestop on the Netware console
3. Using Netware editor edit SYS:\SYSTEM\BESTART.NCF and add -ut switch at
the end of the third line. Please refer the attached Bestart.ncf ( make
sure you add only -ut switch )
4. Save the contents and run Bestart
