You must be superuser, and the remote tape host must have the name of the machine being backed up in its /.rlogin file. The .rhosts entry must be the first name for that machine listed in /etc/hosts. In this example, the 386i named geek is being backed up to nerd's 1/2" tape. Geek must appear as geek.gsfc.nasa.gov in nerd's /.rhosts: nerd% cat /etc/hosts 128.183.xxx.xxx geek.gsfc.nasa.gov geek nerd% cat /.rhosts geek.gsfc.nasa.gov geek# rdump 0uf ltpsun:/dev/rmt0 /dev/rrooth Also, nerd's /etc/ttytab must enable root logins with the "secure" keyword, e.g: nerd% more /etc/ttytab # # @(#)ttytab 1.4 88/02/07 SMI # # name getty type status comments # console "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" sun on secure This works for me. Good luck. Karl Anderson
