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)
