Hi
just stumbled over this. If I try to do a dump to a file which has a ':'
in its name or path, dump tries to connect to a server (which is
obvious as this is the notation for a remote dump).
example:
# dump -f some:file /var
DUMP: rcmd: getaddrinfo: hostname nor servname provided, or not known
DUMP: login to some as root failed.
escaping (dump -f "some\:file" /var) does not work. Is this behaviour
intended? Is there a workaround? (besides making a symlink w/o the : in
the name or using another filename/path)
regards
Ste
P.S. rsync (and probably some other tools using the same notation)
behave the same
