- IX27083 TAPE DEVICE SPEC SYNTAX FOR RDUMP.
-
- The unix 'dump' utility with which most of us are familiar
- provides the syntax, 'user@host:/dev/rmt0' for dumping to a
- remote tape device. This is an important security feature in
- the following case: the filesystem to be dumped resides on a
- host whose root password is known to individuals who should not
- have root access on the host which has the tape drive. Since
- the 'rdump' must be run under the root or system user, and
- since the 'rdump' user must have '.rhost' privilege on the host
- which has the tape drive, security of the latter system is
- comprised. The 'user@host:/dev/rmt0' syntax solves this
- problem by allowing the 'rmt' process on the tape drive host to
- be run under a different uid.
- to be run under a different uid.
-
- IX28487 Unresolved reference during bind of restore
-
- rrestore and restbyinode needed updates to define a user.
