Hi, I am still waiting for a sponsor for integrating star. Star is an archiving library that implements CLIs for various archiver programs and that implements various archive formats. It comes together with a higly performant secure /etc/rmt implementation that is compatible with all rmt clients. The rmt implementation from star will replace the current rmt and ufsdump/ufsrestore will later be enhanced to use librmt from star instead of the current old remote client code. It also comes with a program called "tartest" that was used to make Sun tar POSIX compliant. For more information, see the archive of this mailing list.
