I want to run a command tar czf - / | ssh id@somehost dd of=tarball.tgz I need to run tar as root. However, I need to run ssh as user 'id'. I tried sudo tar czf - / | ssh id@somehost dd of=tar.tgz but am unsure if ssh was launched as 'id' or as root. Any way to be certain that sudo is doing what I want? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
