Well, I got a lot of response on this one and I did everything that these
folks said and I still get the error "Permission denied". Something is
set to stop this from being done. On the one hand that is great because
that is one less security hole I can open up but the only reason I wanted
to do this is because of the lack of time I currently have. This would
get me by until I could investigate and learn to use a different backup
software. Oh well, I guess I'll do it anyway.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I went into the archives and found several Summaries about how to set
up remote backups from one system to another. I tried to follow the
instructions in these summaries but I still can't get it to work.
They said to set up .rhosts on the machine with the tape drive so I
could backup to it. Some mentioned hosts.equiv and I set that up also.
When I try to do the backup I get a "permission denied" message which I am
sure is coming from the machine with the tape drive on it. I tried just
doing a rsh "remote machine" ls and get a permission denied error then also.
Someone previously set up the machine I want to back up to be access from the
machine with the tape drive and I can do a backup that way and can do a
rsh "machine name" ls on it, but not vice versa.
Unfortunately the machine I want to backup to has a tape drive which will
handle the amount of data i need to backup so that is why I need it to work.
Thanks in advance,
