In trying to copy a hierarchy from one RS/6000 to another I attempted
the following:
tar cf - . | rsh harlequin -l root '(cd /foo1; tar xpBf -)'
When performed with insecure berkeley rsh, all is well.
When performed with our kerberized rsh, the pipe to the remote host
slams shut after a random interval. I get the message:
xxxx blocks on -
tar: ran off end of tape.
If I run gtar on the remote side I get:
gtar: Inexpected EOF on archive file.
----
I have been using the tar into kerberized rsh to copy CDROMs from my Sun
to my RS/6000 fileserver host for many months. I suspect that something
bad happens when the data is available so quickly from hard disk, in
contrast to periodically pausing from CDROM.
