(supports mt -f user@host:device rewind) Well, if you put the horse on the other side of the cart, you get "rsh host -l user mt -f device rewind". I don't think there is a better way of doing this, because it's pretty simple. Remote access to a tape ,as with tar, is a special case. It's more efficient than tar'ing to stdout and pipig it into a remote dd to the device. cheers, Adrian System Administrator for the NVL, NIIMS and Telemedicine labs adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
