That doesn't work for me, at least not from Solaris 2.4, I get messages such as:
% tar -cvf yanowitz.starnet.com:/dev/tape /etc /home /var
tar: yanowitz.starnet.com:/dev/tape: No such file or directory
I also tried the rsh yanowitz.starnet.com and it acted identically to
a rlogin.
These may be particular to Solaris and not Linux.
rsh seems to be the most promising as I can ALMOST do:
tar -cvf - /etc /home /var | rsh yanowitz.starnet.com tee /dev/tape
Thanks in advance:
