It is possible to use ssh (and thus encipher the transmission) but it is slower. Use something along this line: tar -c -v -p -f - -b 20 directory | ssh othermachine dd of=/dev/nrsa0 obs=20b and get it back with: ssh othermachine dd if=/dev/nrsa0 bs=20b | tar -x -v -p -B -f - -b 20 but dump instead of tar etc. > > \Flemming > > Stephen Bader wrote: > >> Is ssh allowing root logins? >> >> -Steve >> >> On Mon, 11 Jun 2001, Flemming Froekjaer wrote: >> >> > I have 2 FreeBSD servers.
