This one just to make you know that the problem for I asked a solution in my previous message has been solved by applying a patch to rshd. It was a small bug (7381) in the rshd.c version of 2.2.7-RELEASE (I'm running that version on my target server). If someone has the same problem: search the bugs mailing for 7381 and you'll find the simple patch. > I'm currently using NFS and tar to backup 3 FreeBSD servers on the DAT tape >drive of a fourth server.
