Package: tar
Version: 1.26-3
Severity: normal
File: /etc/rmt
Tar ships a shell script /etc/rmt with the following contents:
> #!/bin/sh
> #
> # This is not a mistake. This shell script (/etc/rmt) has been provided
> # for compatibility with other Unix-like systems, some of which have
> # utilities that expect to find (and execute) rmt in the /etc directory
> # on remote systems.
> #
> exec /usr/sbin/rmt
This launches a full /bin/sh just to parse a shell script and exec the
real rmt. Please consider changing /etc/rmt to a symlink to
.../usr/sbin/rmt.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
