Hi Jörg

> Make sure that .rhost is set up correctly.

The permissions of ~rscsi/.rhosts were a bit, er, liberal. It works now,
as root I can do

cdrecord dev=REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -scanbus

on the client machine and I get a list of SCSI targets on the server
machine.

What do you mean? How do you think did I get as far as I did before
contacting the mailing list? ;-) Seriously, I tried to do the preferred
method from README.rscsi.gz as a starting point. Are there other READMEs
for remote SCSI? If so, I'd be keen to find out whether they have
information regarding the following:

o How can I use remote devices without being root on the client machine?
o How can I use rscsi without having to have rshd running on the server 
  machine?
o Is there a way to use ssh instead of rsh?

Note: I am not necessarily argueing with the security of the setup
suggested. My primary concern is that I have to have rshd running on the
server machine which I normally don't.

Other questions:

What is your opinion on http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi? I
understand that this is only a client to access iSCSI services. Are you
aware of any server iSCSI development for Linux? This would pretty much
be what rscsi is doing, wouldn't it?

I'm using SANE to access a remote scanner just as I'm trying to access a
remote CD writer via cdrecord/rscsi. This prompts me to ask the question
whether you've ever contemplated to turn cdrecord into a library just
like the SANE folks did?

Best regards
Andree
