As far as we can see, Sys 5 does not provide 'rdump'-like facilities, and its dump command cannot take "host:device" type syntax on the destination argument. This must be a common problem - any suggestions please. Trevor Wright Ops manager GEC Marconi Research Centre Gt Baddow Chelmsford Essex UK yc23%a.gec-mrc.co.uk@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk or nfs-relay
