Re: [PLUG] rsh/root

George,

Is there a reason you aren't using ssh?  rsh is picky about small details.

Also, skip the ./*, you will miss dot files and replace the ';' with 
'&&' so your tar will only start if your cd succeeds.

The 'B' is not necessary in my experience but I don't think it hurts:

So..

tar cf - . | ssh beta "cd /tmp && tar xfB -"

You will need to type a password but I gather that's not an issue in 
your scenario.
