[SLUG] Use of DUMP for backup to remote server

[Dennis Gray]

The documentation for the dump command states that it can be used across a
network. Can someone give me some hint as to how to set it up so that an
entire filesystem (ext2) can be backed up to a tape on a remote machine
(running HPUX 11.0). 

I am issuing the command as:

[root@felix /root]# dump -0 -f mrhat:/dev/0m /
  DUMP: remshd: Login incorrect.
  DUMP: login to mrhat as root failed.

What do I need to set up to get the login to work? I have looked at the
various man pages for dump, rexec, etc. and can't seem to get it right.

I do have a /etc/hosts.equiv on the HP box and that works for rsh but may
not be used by rexec

Thanks

Dennis
