I'm sorry to give you a false impression. I did not talk about SELinux. I told about path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/oomichi/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ makedumpfile -v -bash: makedumpfile: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /sbin/makedumpfile -v makedumpfile: version 1.0.7 (released on 08 December 2006) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I wanted to say that makedumpfile on a remote host should be operated by full path (/sbin/makedumpfile), or makedumpfile's directory should be changed (ex. /bin/makedumpfile). >> It is not secure to require a root login of a remote host to transport >> a dumpfile.
