You need to have the proper name of the local machine in the tape host machine's root .rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv. Proper name is found how it's resolved by dns (if dns is first in you host.conf file) or the first on the line in your /etc/hosts (if hosts is first). Or you can find it with the who command on the tape machine, logged in from your local machine > # 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 > -- "But what ... is it good for?" --Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip.
