// Hi,
// 
// I have a question about doing a tar to a device on another host.
// Using the tar command does not seem to work.  The man page says
// you should be able to do "tar -cvf otherhost:/dev/rst0 local.files".
// But this just hangs.  Does anyone use tar to do backups to a
// remote device?

I do, and it works fine.  You must have rsh .rhosts permission enabled,
on the remote host, of course...

// 
// Thanks,
//
