The manpage for rdump is the same as for dump, but the details about rdumping are left out of it. I've dug on the web site, the handbook, the book, asked my wife to no avail. Can anyone loan me a clue as to what hidden BSD trick I'm missing? I've tried: dumphost# dump foo:/file/system /dev/nrsa0 ..but nothing seems to happen, and yes, I've got dumphost in foo's /etc/hosts.equiv. I have a feeling its got something to do with root on dumphost accessing foo and some security concern that keeps it from happening, but I can't figure it out. Even better, is there a recipe for doing it with ssh? Would love that. But I'd like to know how to do it the simple (if insecure) way, too. -- swb@grasslake.net Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
