If that all works give rsh works fine between the two machines.. I set these systems all up identically, and yet only the FreeBSD boxes don't work. You'd think FreeBSD would be compatible with itself first above others. :) BTW, taring to STDOUT via rsh from the tapehost works fine.. that's the only way I'm able to backup data from the FreeBSD systems presently. Still, I'd rather standardize the backup process and use dump across all platforms. -- Dan Roberts, http://gwis.com/~droberts Gateway to Internet Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
