Hi,

	I've setup an Exabyte 8mm tape backup drive and it does
	local dump well.  However, when I try to rdump from another
	FBSD machine, it denys accepting the rdump request.  These machines
	are setup as standard UNIX host;  dumphost:/etc/hosts.equiv has
	the name of remotehost on it, but I thought this is invalid for
	root's rexec, so dumphost:/home/root/.rhost has the same content.
	rdump is invoked with root permission on the remotehost and
	any special rdump user on the dumphost is not specified from the
	remotehost.

	What's wrong with my setup?

Thanks,
