- Turn on rsh logging in /usr/adm/SYSLOG by adding the '-L' option
- to the rshd line in /usr/etc/inetd.conf, followed by
- /etc/killall -HUP inetd, then do it again, to see what
- the error is.
-
- Also, you can try just running 'mt -t guest@remote:/dev/nrtape status'
- and see what, if any error you get (on the machine without the drive).
- There are no known problems in this area, aside from system configuration
- on the users/admin's part.
