Hello Quin, I use option a (as in auto-size) with my travan. works like a charm: dump 0dua /dev/nrst0 / Maybe you could help me in return? I'm running 2.2-stable with the default login.conf file. This prevents root from doing rsh (and rdump). How do I set up a login.conf that doesn't prevent rdump? This compromises security, I know. How bad is this for security, though? Regards, Palle
