Hello,

I would strongly suggest:
1) Installing the SSH 3.0x package on your RaQ,
2) login as root,  edit /etc/services, get an SSH client for 
your  computer, login using SSH, comment out the line telnet tcp  23, which 
turns off telnet (after restarting /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet)
3) Use scp which gets installed with the SSH package for secure file transfer.

I use rsync with SSH to push backup data from my servers to a dedicated 
backup server. I am able to do this across the entire Cobalt product line.

PS: The Arkeia Tape backup freeware version allows 1 server and one client. 
With rsync performing the transfers to the backup server, I end up not 
having to utilize one client on the network! That save $1000s in software 
expenses!!!

Cheers,
Glenn
