The following command: bru -cvR -f remote_host.guest:/dev/tape / results in the following error message: Password incorrect. Unable to invoke remote demon at remote_host bru: "remote_host.guest:/dev/tape": can't open archive: No permission match bru: "load volume 1 and enter device [default: remote_host.guest:/dev/tape] We tracked the error from the "Backup -h remote_host /" command until we determined that the messages were coming from "bru". The following things have been done: - setenv netaddr in the PROM Monitor on both machines to the correct TCP/IP address - allowed guest login permission to root on the remote machine - also allowed root login permission using .rhosts on the remote machine - checked that tftp and bootp deamons are running on both machines The first line of the error message (Password incorrect.) seems to be the source of the problem. The remaining messages are generated no matter what form of the command we tried. For instance, guest@remote_host and guest@unknown_host. If anyone has been doing remote tape backups and has seen these symptoms, please let me know. I have gone through the same thing on other systems without any problems. We are running version 3.1D of the OS on a Personal Iris. Thanks in advance. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | phone: 216-433-8318 NASA Lewis Research Center | Cleveland, Ohio 44135 | email: fsfacca@lerc08.lerc.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
