Theres probably a simple answer, but I'm new to AIX so be kind... We want to back up some other machines on our network to the 8mm tape on our RS6000 box. I've set up the appropriate /.rhosts AND /etc/hosts.equiv files so root on another machine can do an rdump, only... they can't. rsh etc works fine for any other user except for root - I've checked the /etc/security/users file, which seems to be in order, and there my current knowledge ends. Rather than wade laboriously through info-explorer, I was hoping somebody out there might have some ideas. Thanks, Alistair P.S. The error I get (from Suns, SunOS 4.1) is: rshd: 0826-813 Permission is denied. -- Alistair Veitch Systems Programmer/Analyst Internet: acv@waikato.ac.nz Phone: +64 71 562889 ext. 8638 SNAIL: Computer Services, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
