Hi, I have a Linux network running Mandrake 5.3. One machine is named ripley and has a 4 mm dds-2 tape drive mounted on /dev/st0. I would like to access this device from another machine called weaver. If I log in to weaver as a normal user, I can issue commands like tar cvf ripley:/dev/st0 and everything works fine. However, if I log in to weaver as root, and issue the same tar commands, I get an error saying Permission denied. tar: Cannot open ripley:/dev/st0: Input/output error tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Is root supposed to be denied remote access? Thanks, Hidong
