The files in this directory will allow you to make the following
programs:
rtar -- remote tape archiver
rdd -- generalized remote tape I/O
rmt -- remote tape manipulator
The distribution comes as a set of 'ed' scripts, a Makefile and a
document. To create the source files to the programs, run 'make
sources' -- this copies the original source files into this directory
and runs 'ed' on them with the appropriate script. (You may need to
customize the makefile.) After making the sources, you can run 'make
install' to install them. You must run 'make install' as root. To
install the documentation, run 'make document'.
Simple, huh? (Gasp, wheeze, pant, etc.)

BTW, the sources are no doubt (c) 1984 Regents of the University of
California, although I haven't asked about them.

.SH NAME
rtar, rdd, rmt \- remote tape manipulation programs
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rtar
\&...\f3f\f1...
.I host:device
[ files ] ...

.B rdd
\&... [ \f3if=\f2host:device\f1 ] ... [ \f3of=\f2host:device\f1 ] ...

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR Rtar ,
.I rdd
and
.I rmt
are versions of
.IR tar (1),
.IR dd (1)
and
.IR mt (1)
which work on remote tapes in much the same way as
.IR rdump (8)
and
.IR rrestore (8).
These programs cause another program
.I /etc/rmt
(\c
.IR rmt (8))
to be executed on the remote host,
which in turn manipulates the specified device
according to commands issued by the local program,
passing data back and forth as necessary.
All keys and options for the remote flavor programs
are the same as for the local flavor programs;
the only difference is that if a tape device
of the form
.I host:device
is specified,
the tape operations are performed on the named device
on the named host.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostics are the same as for the local flavor programs,
with the exception of a few possible socket errors.
Remote errors are reported to the local program.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
dd(1), mt(1), tar(1), mtio(4), rdump(8), rmt(8), rrestore(8)
.SH BUGS
.I Rmt
is clearly a bad name for 'remote
.IR mt ',
since it clashes with
.IR /etc/rmt .
It is suggested that one simply install
.I rmt
as
.IR mt ,
since the overhead of using the remote routines is low for this program.
.PP
.IR Rtar ,
.I rdd
and
.I rmt
must all be setuid to root,
since they use a privileged socket.
The programs know enough to setuid back to the real user id
after opening the socket, but there are undoubtedly security problems here.
.PP
Only one remote tape may be specified.
Thus
.I rdd
may not have a remote tape for both input and output.
.PP
The program
.I /etc/rmt
has bugs in it.
Most of these bugs appear to be handled by
.I rtar
and friends, but beware.
