No, the rdump ``protocol'' used to use /etc/rmt explicitly. 4.4BSD broke this which was a bad idea. Revision 1.2 of dumprmt.c reverted to the traditional protocol. It is available this way in FreeBSD 2.2 or higher. Note that /etc/rmt is usually a symlink to the actual location on all today's systems, but that doesn't matter. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
