O.K. You have a good weekend too. Half day Friday's during summer. So I get in as early as I can. You know, I do have a friend in NYC who may be able to help with the authentication issue and another friend in DC. I'll ask around and see what they come up with (LDAP).

Annhilannic: I'm sure your right. Anyway, wish I could have been of more help. Ken: Thanks, I love to get ripped on Friday's.

now, in the hosts file; you have to have the local hosts address 127 0 0 1 is the default. next line, your new hard coded ip address full this time. this is the internet hosts table. must have it. 206 16 4 9 or whatever in netmasks it would be 206 16 0 0 you need to have a loopback table for...

Now then, I've been working on my recovery skills. Did that. Updated my fantasy baseball team and am ready to go. First thing first. The sun server i use sits behind the nt firewall. keep in mind i don't know very much about nt other than that i think it's a glorified pier to pier network setup...

That worked out just fine. Many thanks jad! Oh and thank you for the scripts. As soon as I'm finished going through this book it is on to improving my C programming. I joined a VB site some time ago which I thought was pretty good. But this site is much much better. I've got to answer a question...

I use Reflections to access the server. It's a pretty simple setup. Reflections is installed on a pc. The software calls for the user to enter the name of the server your trying to access, then the hard coded ip address. The software on the server is then accessable. I'll write more in a moment...

Hey that's great. Thanks a bunch. I do have another question... has to do with restoring a file... I would like to know how to restore a specific file from tape. say file is named "paper" and it's at 35000 ufsrestore ifvy /dev/rmt/0 ./freddy/paper then i have to extract the file...

i will. no need to appologize. i'm glad for you input and help. i have a feeling that the canned backup script i'm using is backing up as tar files. not sure yet. i can read the files, and directories, but i've just got a feeling. either way, i'll figure it out and let you know how it worked...

the f option i think is ignored. i'm going thru my o'reilly book. i'll try the verbose option. i have some free time at work so i'm attempting to learn more about recoveries...just in case.

i'm an idiot. your first idea worked. I had two logins going. I switched to a different directory to have a looksee. thank you for your help.

dang, i have a thought. i'm logged in as su from my pc. think it would matter if i were at the console?

nope that didn't work.

yep. root user.

yes there is a way. in fact that is exactly what i have set up. you first have to have separate ip address' in order for the sun boxes to be seen by the nt system. you then have to name your sun boxes. if your running software off the sun systems, you will have to hard code the ip address in...

in trying to create a dump list...I get nothing. I created a directory tmp # ufsrestore tfy /dev/rmt/0mn >/tmp/dump.list When I check my tmp directory to see if the file has been created...nothing in it. any thoughts.
