    Hi Everybody,

    can you help me concerning following problem:

    I want to remote backup with tar or dump from linux to solaris box?

    When trying " tar cvf remotehost:/dev/rmt/0 /"

    I get the error message: " Cannot open: input/output error.... tar: error ist
    recoverable: exiting now"

    I think it's a problem on the solaris side.

    I created a ".rhosts" file on both servers and removed the "#" from rsh line
    in /etc/inetd.conf because tar (and dump?) are connecting via rsh. After this
    I restarted inetd.

    I also checked /etc/hosts and hosts.equiv (there are no hosts.deny or
    hosts.allow files): the localhost from which I am trying to connect is listed,
    I also added its IP - address.

    No success!

    Thank in Advance
