The handbooks shows the following: Example 19-2. Using dump over ssh with RSH set # RSH=/usr/bin/ssh /sbin/dump -0uan -f targetuser@targetmachine.example.com:/dev/sa0 /usr This won´t work, because this are two commands which are not separated. >How-To-Repeat: fgrep '<userinput>RSH' /usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml >Fix: Insert a control operator between the commands like: # RSH=/usr/bin/ssh && /sbin/dump -0uan -f targetuser@targetmachine.example.com:/dev/sa0 /usr OR List the commands, each on a separate line: # RSH=/usr/bin/ssh # /sbin/dump -0uan -f targetuser@targetmachine.example.com:/dev/sa0 /usr >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
