I think I might have messed up with my last mail to the list, so
here it is again just incase it didn't make it correctly...

Hello all,
I figured out the rdump problem I was having.
I went back to the old archives of the mail list as I was trying
to figure out some other problems such as how to log the rdumps to a log file
and then send me mail. When I tried to send mail, which happened to be
to the same system as the tape server, the mail complained saying it couldn't
find the system. Although I had it in my host file ok, the mail was
complaining that it was in a different domain. I ran bindsetup and then
mailsetup. Once mail was fine, rdump worked ok. Why it ran ok in the
past, then all of a sudden broke is a mystery.
so my final command, for now is...
/usr/sbin/rdump -0u -b64 -f tapeserver:/dev/nrmt0h / > & /dump.log
mail asimeone_at_tapeserver < /dump.log
Also, Another problem I encountered was this...
When I did a "whoami", I was NOT root although I logged in as root.
I checked the passwd file and found the uid,gid to be 0:75. I changed
that to 0:1 and did a mkpasswd -v passwd and then a "whoami" gave me
"root" after logging out and back in. so that could have also been part
of the problem.
rsh commands works fine now without any editing to the hosts.equiv file,
just the /.rhosts file.
So, bottom line, this system still needs some work :-(
