Hi! Two questions regarding rdump: 1. I can't quite get it to work ;-) To get root on client to have authority to rsh server machine, I tried adding client to the server ~root/.rhosts file. This was not enough. My guess is it has to do with the login.conf introduced in 2.2.2, especially since it works connecting to our older 2.1 server. I'm poking around with it right now, but any tips are appreciated. How do I set up login.conf? 2. How do you go about to set up a decent security with using rdump? If I do add possibility for rdump to access the server as root, this feels like a huge security hole, right? So, how do you go about? What about the 'operator' group? Is this created for this purpose, and will it be of any use if I want cron to do the job? best regards, Palle
