Hmmm, anyone tried rdump to 8mm tape on an RS6000?

While on the subject, how do others cope with the absence of the Sun-style
"user@host:device" device argument?  The RS6000 in question is not under
my control, and (fortunately - AIX: whew!) I don't have the root passwd, so
from our Suns I backup to "backup@fred:/dev/rmt1.1" with a little help from
a .rhosts file in user "backup"s home on the dump host.  Without the "user@"
syntax, how am I going to do this?  *Puh-leez* don't send me back to the land
of "tar", I've gone soft since those days ;-)
