I have an exteamly simple question about taring files on freeBSD. How can I tar everything within a directory, including files subdirectories, files within subdirectories, etc. With bsdi it's simply tar -cvf /public_html, but I am getting "can't open directory" errors with the same command in freebsd. Thanks, and appologies for the level of this question. Bill Wilson atijapan@gol.com
