Hi,

I cvsupped/rebuilt -stable on the 23rd of july, and since then I've been  
having a problem using tar on a remote tape drive. I think a kernel built on  
the 17th of July still worked. I can reproduce it on the local machine like  
this. As root, using no host name in the tape file name. everything works  
fine:

# tar tfv /dev/rst0
V--------- 0/0               0 Jul 27 05:20 1998 level 1 backup of / on  
nemesis at Mon Jul 27 05:20:05 MET DST 1998 Volume 1--Volume Header--
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel      250 Jul 24 11:58 1998 ./
drwxr-xr-x bin/bin         179 Jul 24 11:20 1998 ./bin/
...etc

And now using the local host's name in the tape file name:

# tar tfv nemesis:/dev/rst0
tar: can't open nemesis:/dev/rst0 : Input/output error

Permissions (.rhosts, etc) seem to be ok. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Ben
