I had some strange tar problems with bsd tar, which is included with 5.3-RELEASE. I would recommend installing gtar and using that instead. By the way, if you install gtar, you just type "tar" as you normally would. freebsd_daemon wrote: > Dear list, > > I got a tar archive (varia.tar), when I try to un-tar it I get: > > # tar xvf ./varia.tar > ../varia/ > tar: ../varia/: Member name contains `..' > ../varia/bkup200401.gz > tar: ../varia/bkup200401.gz: Member name contains `..' > > [...] > > ../varia/bkup200411.gz > tar: ../varia/bkup200411.gz: Member name contains `..' > tar: Error exit delay from previous error > > Is there a way to un-tar that archive despite of that? > > TIA > > zheyu >
