restore -rf u...@host:file

2009-11-24 Thread n dhert
To use the restore command (dump/restore) with a dump file on a remote
machine, the man restore tells you can use the syntax restore -rf
u...@host:file, this uses rcmd(3)
If from the target machine (on same subnet as remotemachine),
logged in as root, I enter
targetmachine# cd /home/testrestore
targetmachine# tar -rf root@ IP_of_remote_machine:/home/file.dmp
I get
IP_of_remote_machine: Connection refused
login to IP_of_remote_machine as root failed
There needs some more setup for this in order to work, (hosts.equiv,
.rhosts  or something ??).
How exactly ?
(I just need this for the restore, certainly not to be a permanent way of
transferring files)

 r...@%20machine.domain:/dir1/dir2/file.dmp

Why you are talking here about tar(1) if you need restore(1M)?

 I get
 IP_of_remote_machine: Connection refused
 login to IP_of_remote_machine as root failed

just use another normal user and not 'root'; you only need read access
to the file on the remote server;

 
  r...@%20machine.domain:/dir1/dir2/file.dmp

I'm usingt for restore:

# newfs /dev/daX
# mount /dev/daX /mnt
# cd /mnt

# ssh g...@albatros cat dumpsRebelion-20080825/usr.dmp.gz | gzip -dc | restore 
-r -f -

(my dumps are compressed there);

HIH
