Currently I don't see how to do cloning easily without rsh? Same here. Had some trouble to dump/restore the system from a life 2nd system. Finally found a solution: Created a named pipe on the system with the cloning device and used restore's integrated rsh capability: [System A (with the FS to dump)]: mkfifo /tmp/ufs.dump dump 0f /tmp/ufs.dump / [System B (fresh system)]: cd /mnt rrestore rvf 1.2.3.4:/tmp/ufs.dump But sure, rsh would have been quite handy...
