>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Epilogue Technology Inc.
>Environment:

	486DX2-66 16MB RAM
	Buslogic BT445C SCSI2F VLB (32 bit SCSI controller)
	ST31200N 1052MB Seagate A/V SCSI2 Drive
	3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives
	Boca IOAT55M (2 serial, 1 parallel port card, 8 bit ISA, 16550 UART)
	ATI Mach 32 VLB w/1MB RAM (Mach 32 video card)
	Elite 16 Combo [8013 EWC] (Ethernet board connected by 10base5)

>Description:

	The version of tar that comes with the release cannot use a remote
	tape drive via rsh.  Attempts to recompile it myself achieved the same
	result.  The version of tar from FreeBSD 1.1.5.1(RELEASE) works fine
	under the same circumstances.  This is supposedly the same version of
	tar itself.

>How-To-Repeat:

	bash$ tar -cvf lowell@duras.epilogue.com:fubar *.info
	tar: can't open lowell@duras.epilogue.com:fubar : Input/output error
	bash$ ./tar.darth  -cvf lowell@duras.epilogue.com:fubar *.info
	rsh: warning, using standard rsh: remote host doesn't support Kerberos.
	backup.info
	bash$ 


>Fix:
	
	Obtained tar executable from a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1(RELEASE) machine.
	This operated properly.
	[I haven't found any magical incantations for the tar sources to make
	 them compile a working version.]

State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 9 11:21:29 MET DST 1995 
State-Changed-Why:  
Among many other fixes (e.g. the /etc/rmt symlink), the latest change to 
the rmt utility to create new files with specific permission bits instead of 
random garbage seems to have killed the last show-stopper 
for this.
