Both dumps are run as root. Somehow the login process is not functioning properly. How do I >track down that problem? When I try to run dump on mail, I get a similar error: That's not surprising. As the dump man page says, if you use user@host:file syntax, it runs the antique rmt program which probably doesn't do what you want. The easiest approach is to mount the dump volume with NFS, and dump to it that way. Be sure to set -maproot to something reasonable in the exports file. Or something like this: dump -h0 -0aLf - / | ssh master "dd of=/dumps/mail.dump" R's, John
