I backed up a machine tonight with:
tar -cvf bhughes@compaq2:/dumps/gdubackup.tar --rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh
/
and got this as a result:
-rw-r-xr-T 1 bhughes bhughes 775741440 Apr 20 21:46 gdubackup.tar
mc (midnight commander) won't look into the archive like I am used to
leaving this in the shell:
[root@compaq2 /dumps]# ./gdubackup.tar
bash: ./gdubackup.tar: cannot execute binary file
Looks like mc is trying to run the thing. I don't have any idea what
the other permission T means but it must be executable I guess. I can
change the permissions I know but this begs two questions;
1. why is this executable at all?
2. what the heck is T anyway?
Any help appreciated.
