Well, we got a Personal Iris without a tape drive, thinking we'd be able
to read tapes off of one of our tape-equipped Suns. inst, however,
doesn't want to cooperate. I verified all of the permissions back and
forth between the sun and the iris, and both ways it passed the test in
the Iris manual (rsh hostname date ). Yet whenever I try to use inst to
read the tape it comes up with "Permission denied." twice. 

a) is it possible to read iris "inst" format tapes remotely from a sun

b) how? I'm baffled, and the manual doesn't help (and the SGI salesman
is apparently on vacation).

thanks

aem
