Hi, Bero,
Thanks for the reply. I'm still not quite able to do what I want. I
want to use ripley's tape drive within weaver as root. As weaver's
root, I issued the command 'rsh ripley tar tvf /dev/st0 > testlist &'.
I still get a "permission denied" error. ripley and weaver are in each
other's /etc/hosts.equiv. Thanks,
Hidong
