The reason I was tarring a tar file to the tape I didn't want to backup a whole file system just to test the tape drive. I tried doing just a file or a directory and that didn't work either. As for the hp server it's running hpux 11i and I'm much more familiar with hp. On the hp tape drive that is connected to the hp server it reads just about anything. And I'm using "tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m" to read the tape and to write to the tape I used "tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0m /tmp" and it works just fine. I take that same tape and try to read it on the tape drive that is connected to the linux machine and it doesn't work. It's the same type of tape drive except for it's an external scsi tape drive. I tried tar -cvf /dev/nst0 /tmp, still didn't work. [root@darc200 ~]# tar cvf /dev/nst0 /tmp tar: Removing leading `/' from member names /tmp/ tar: /tmp/.gdm_socket: socket ignored tar: /tmp/mapping-root: socket ignored /tmp/ytbackup/ /tmp/ytbackup/d2d/ /tmp/ytbackup/v8.10-sp2a/ /tmp/ytbackup/v8.10-sp2a/lin/ /tmp/ytbackup/v8.10-sp2a/lin/x86/ /tmp/ytbackup/v8.10-sp2a/lin/x86/libytlintor.so tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot write: Invalid argument tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [root@darc200 ~]# I ran hp's tape utility hp_ltt and it reads and writes to the tape just fine. I can even write to the tape using the software that came with the tape drive called Tapeware by Yosemite, I just can't use tar and my users wants to be able to use tar.

It is true that we can edit the fax file with GIMP or other image editor as I wrote in my first post. However, due to my limited user experience, I cannot edit a multi-page fax file in GIMP. Considering the situation, I receive a fax file via Hylafax and I want to remove the fax number shown on each fax page. With "Imaging for Windows", I can use the annotation tool to coat the fax number in white and repeat the action on multiple fax pages; but I don't know how to do the same thing in the linux environment. Hence, welcome any idea or comment to this question. Thank you once more, Mike.

I have built a custom script that reaches across to Solaris system and executes a remote command using SSH. The remote command used is "ufsdump". The command looks something like ssh -l user host ufsdump -0uf - /partition-to-be-backed-up |cat >/destination-directory/filename Everything is fine til I need to restore from a back up. It seems that I can backup and restore the smaller partitions (in this case 2.2Gb) without issue. However, when I try to restore a backup for a larger partition(in this case 7.6Gb), I am unable restore without moving the backup file to a Solaris system. Once I move the backup file to a Solaris system, it seems to work correctly. So the backup is being created accurately. Is there any know differences between the Linux "restore" command and the Solaris "ufsrestore" command? In both cases I am doing an interactive restore. Linux -- restore -vif backup-file.dmp Solaris -- ufsrestore -vif backup-file.dmp I would appreciate any insights.

This question is usually left unanswered, as the more influential members of the sendmail community think that is an improper action. They are apparently thinking of an ISP snooping on its customers. I expect the more likely case is a business such as a brokerage which is legally required to keep copies of correspondence, for understandable reasons. Some mailers make this easy. Postfix has "bcc: always" option that solves this problem with a single request. Anthony C Howe has posted milter-bcc <http://www.milter.info/milter-bcc/index.shtml> which appears to duplicate the Postfix ability in Sendmail. See also Synonym<http://www.modulo.ro/synonym/>from Modulo Consulting. The Sendmail FAQ does offer three suggestions for doing this, but except for one, they require extensive modification to sendmail, and it is clear that they are not offered in the expectation that they will be implemented. In the FAQ, and in the newsgroup, it is also suggested that Procmail can do this. Most people making this suggestion are merely confused, since if you install procmail as documented, it only sees incoming mail. Since it never sees outgoing mail, it isn't going to be able to save copies. However it turns out that there is a way to install procmail to process outgoing mail. I haven't tried it myself, but I did track down the available instructions, and have copied them below. There is obviously room for someone to actually try to document this in simple terms for sendmail users of less than guru status. As a start, one could consult this <http://www.technoids.org/procmailfilter.html>. [Note added September 2005 - Procmail scanning of outbound mail has apparently been added to Sendmail, if not to the FAQ. See here <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/mailers.html>. The sendmail FAQ includes a reference to a comp.mail.sendmail posting using only * 33AA593A.4B701C3F@xxxxxxxxxxx * for the citation. While some users might know to go to the Google Groups "Advanced Search" page, others may not. I expect this page will come up for anyone searching in the Google web engine for that message-id, thus letting the uninitiated see the posting referred to. Viewing message <33AA593A.4B701C3F@xxxxxxxxxxx> From: Homme Bitter (H.Bitter at syntegra dotte nl) Subject: Solution for copying all mail to archive Newsgroups: comp.mail.sendmail View: (This is the only article in this thread) | Original Format Date: 1997/06/20 It took me some time, but, I have it solved... This can also be used as a general purpose mailfilter too, excellent for detecting spam and other unpleasant things. Solution: Let sendmail map everything through procmail, let procmail do to your mail whatever you want with it and map it back. That was the easy part... Now for the syntax. Add some local rules to your m4 config file ( use m4, ALWAYS ! ). MAILER(`procmail')dnl LOCAL_RULE_0 R$*<@$*.procmail>$* $1@<$2>$3 map back of procmail copy LOCAL_RULE_0 R$*<@$+>$* $#procmail $@/etc/procmailrc $:$1@$2procmail$3 send all external mail to procmail this will send all mail through procmail using the file /etc/procmailrc as the config file for procmail. I use this one: :0 c: /var/mail/archive Once I found this all out ( with a little help, I might add ). it all seemed so simple.... Maybe this would be a good item to add to the faq, since it is a general purpose add on for sendmail that can be used for many useful purposes. Known problems: Sending to a top leve domain doesn't work, it somehow looses a dot, but then again, there are no mailaddresses in toplevedomains, to my knowledge, so, who cares. This version only works for mail wit a @ sign in the address, it's kind of hard to split up an address that consists of only one string. Good luck, I hope the mail-commutity is happy with this.
