Make sure /sbin/rmt exists (it's from the package named rmt). Then
haave the users grant themselves rsh access to that machine from
wherever they want to use the tape. This means using /etc/hosts.qquiv
ot $HOME/.rhosts (Hmm, there's no ruserok() manual page).
Then with tar, for example, they would do
tar cf yourbox.wustl.edu:/dev/tape file list ...
To test if you have rsh access working between the machines, just do
this from the client.
rsh yourbox true
It should produce no output. If there is a prblem it will say:-
Permission denied.
