I have 2 unix servers (bsdi 2.1, all patches). I have a scsi dat drive on one machine (news) and i back up a second machine (victory) from the 1st. I use the "rsh" command for these backups. So from the machine called news, i run the command: rsh victory /sbin/dump 0uBf 2097152 news:/dev/nrst0 / I have been using this command for about a year with no problems. Suddenly i started getting: rcmd: news.soonet.ca: Address already in use TCP_MAXSEG setsockopt: Bad file descriptor This baffles me. I don't have any new software on this machine, haven't changed my /etc/services file, have not rebuilt my kernel. Also, doing an rlogin from victory to news also fails, however, "rcp" works. Any suggestions whatsoever would really be appreciated as i've tried everything i can think of short of reinstalling the OS, absolutely a last resort. -- Don Joy System Administrator SooNet Corp.
