Problems using rdump to a Sequent Date: 27 Oct 1995 19:25:50 GMT Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 32 Message-ID: <46rbnu$j5r@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> Reply-To: aaronm@pubserv.com NNTP-Posting-Host: firefly.prairienet.org (** Our news server is down, so I am using another account. Please send responses to aaronm@pubserv.com as it is somewhat difficult for me to get to this news news feed **) We are in the process of adding a few PC's running BSD to our existing network. Up until now, the only machines which contained data which required archiving were two Sequent S27's. These were set up as trusted hosts, and rdump is used to dump remote volumes to one machine. We are trying to get the BSD machines to rdump to one of the sequents now and are having problems. I have tried making the BSD machine a trusted host on the Sequent, and I've even gone so far as to include an entry in root's .rhost file on the Sequent. Every time we try to run rdump we get a "Permission Denied" error on the BSD machine. We do not get any kind of error in the Sequent's syslog. I have also been unable to NFS share BSD volumes to the Sequents either. Are these related? Does anyone have any recommendations for getting rdump to a Sequent working? We are running Dynix 3.1.2 if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help you can give me! -- Aaron S. Magill (aaronm@pubserv.com) Systems Administrator Publication Services, Inc. --
