Actually, I am using "rdump" executing on my Sun to write on
my apollo tape drive. The /.rhosts file on the apollo must be
set up to allow the Sun access to the apollo, the /etc/rmt
remote magtape program must be present on the apollo, and
the magtape device files on the apollo must exist. The command
I execute on my Sun is:

rdump 0udsbf 54000 6000 64 conrad:/dev/ws_rmt12 /dev/sd2g

where "conrad" is the apollo with the tape drive, and
/dev/ws_rmt12 is the device file on //conrad for my Workstation
Solutions 8mm Exabyte drive.

P.S. /.rhosts *must* be owned by "root", and on many systems it
     must also have the Unix protection mode set to "600".
