Hi All,

Is it possible to access a tape drive on another host (hostA) from
hostB, using DecUnix 3.2. ??

The .rhosts file on hostA contains a record "hostB root"

When I do the following on hostB:

   tar cvf root_at_hostA:/dev/nrmt0h *

I get the message:

tar: cannot open root_at_hostA:/dev/nrmt0h: No such file or directory

I Any idea please ? I do not want to tar via NFS from hostA.

Many thanks!
