I use it all the time it allows drilling (browsing) into archives and rpm file
just like they were regular directories.  I DO need to figure out the execution
thing though that is really scary

no suprise here (I think)

022
HOME=/home/bhughes
HOSTTYPE=i386
LOGNAME=bhughes
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/bhughes
OSTYPE=Linux
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
SHELL=/bin/bash
SHLVL=1
SSH_CLIENT=192.168.0.101 1023 22
TERM=dumb
USER=bhughes
_=/usr/bin/env

ssh -l bhughes compaq2 'touch testfromgdu'
yields
-rw-r--r--   1 bhughes  bhughes         0 Apr 21 10:05 testfromgdu
that's what I expected.

Of couse this is not the same way I am getting there since I am using the
--rsh-command ssh option to tar.
I'll keep digging.  Going toward the tar docs now.

Something interesting:

using the same command to send the output file to itself on gdu also creates the
funky permissions

[root@gdu1 /tmp]# tar -cvf bhughes@gdu1:/tmp/gdutest.tar
--rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh /home/bhughes

yields:
-rw-r-xr-T   1 bhughes  bhughes   7208960 Apr 21 10:38 gdutest.tar

hmmm.  any Ideas anyone?
