AW: RE: Sharing SCSI tape drives

[joe at illegal-access.de]

Hi Larry,

tar doesn't support the "direct" access of remote tape (or device)... since there's no daemon, who takes care of the connection. A combination of rcp/rsh or scp/ssh could help. Alternatively you could mount the device via NFS (but I have no i	experiences about that).

cu,
 Joe
