In order to perform a Solaris2.4 machine named myhost, such a
ufsdump 0uf user@backupserver:/dev/rmt/... /dev/rdsk/..
command, Solaris2.4 will previously change the uid from root
to user BEFORE doing the dump from user@myhost to user@backupserver
Hence :
1- user must exist on myhost
2- on myhost, user must belong to the sys group, in order to
get read access to the disk devices + write access to dumpdates
3- of course, on backupserver side, user must be able to write to
the tape device
4- user@myhost must have an entry in user's
.rhosts on backupserver (and not root@myhost)
