So what's the trick to getting rdump to work properly? I've looked into this a few times, but I've never been able to get it to work properly. I figure it's something stupid I'm doing, but I just can't figure it out from the man page. # rdump 0auf machine.name:/dev/nrst0 / DUMP: Login incorrect. DUMP: login to machine.name as root failed. (Obviously, machine.name is replaced with the machine I'm trying to send the dump to) Gary Schrock root@eyelab.msu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
