Hi. I have been using ssh to go between one of my systems and
another so I can execute rmt since the remote system has a much
better tape drive.
The following worked up to maybe last week, but I am confused as to
what has changed.
On the local system I need to be root while running the tape drive so
I can get to all the files for a backup, but I want the remote system
not to permit root login, so I have the tape drive on the remote
system owned by a user, and from a root window -- to manipulate the
tape drive I export MT_RSH to a one line shell command like this:
ssh -l user -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa $*
and this worked fine till very recently. Now if I do this rmt gives
me i/o error, although the tape drive status is not changed.
If I login to my local system as the user who owns the tape drive on
the remote system and su to root it works! So, from a root window it
doesn't work, but from the user window sued to root it does and I
would like to understand what is happening? Anyway to get it to work
the old way? The only change I know ofwas an upgrade of ssh (running
sid Debian).
Thanks much for your help.
