Use ssh. I suggest rhosts-RSA authentication. rdump uses the rcmd(3) interface which doesn't pass over ssh. You would have to dump to stdout and forward this explicitly over ssh, e.g. dump 0f - / | ssh tapehost buffer -o /dev/rsa0 The basic command on the tape host to write the incoming dump archive to tape would be "dd of=/dev/rsa0 bs=10k", but I strongly suggest using a buffering command like ports/misc/{buffer,team}. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
