I am attempting to use a 9 track cypher tape drive over the net. I am getting this error message : karron:~/D.mri/D.Tape1:105mt -t mcirps3:/dev/mt/xmtape stat can't find remote shell program: No such file or directory mcirps3:/dev/mt/xmtape: I/O error Exit 1 What is wrong ? Where is the shell script ? Does remote tape drives work for Cypher 9 track ?

My best guess, based on what you say, is that you have a 'non-standard' shell on the machine where you issue the mt command, and that shell doesn't exist on the remote machine. You might try using: mt -t guest@mcirps3:/dev/mt/xmtape stat -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
