So there are two questions:
- Does anybody know about a version of dump that is able to cooperate with SSH?
.From the dump manpage:
ENVIRONMENT [...]
RSH Dump uses the contents of this variable to determine the name of the remote shell command to use when doing remote backups (rsh, ssh etc.). If this variable is not set, rcmd(3) will be used, but only root will be able to do remote backups.
A kind of summary: This feature is supported since dump version 0.4b8 which was released November 3, 1999. SuSE-distributions provide: SuSE-6.1: dump version 0.3 SuSE-6.4: dump version 0.4b15 For anybody else who would like to upgrade: Roman warned me not to install the SuSE-6.4 dump.rpm as it was linked against glibc-2.1 (SuSE-6.1 has glibc-2.0). But the source package from SuSE-6.4 compiles well after compiling also ext2fs.spm from SuSE-6.4. Finally we will get rid of these r-services... ;-) Cheers, Thomas |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Thomas Forbriger email: Thomas.Forbriger@geophys.uni-stuttgart.de | | Universitaet Stuttgart - Institut fuer Geophysik | | Richard-Wagner-Str. 44 D-70184 Stuttgart Germany | | Tel ++49 (711) 121-3593 or 3422 or 3424 or 3590 | Fax ++49 (711) 2361218 | | http://www.geophys.uni-stuttgart.de/thof | | "... there's nothing more bizarre than reality..."
