When using cpio-2.5-13.RHEL4 and attempting the command: find . -print | cpio -oacB --rsh-command=/usr/bin/rsh -O host:/backups/a.cpio It returns: host: Connection refused cpio: host:/backups/a.cpio: Illegal seek If I force install cpio-2.5-9.RHEL4.i386.rpm and use that binary, the command works.
I guess since I have a work around this can be medium
Well, I got different results: # rpm -q cpio cpio-2.5-13.RHEL4.i386 # find . -print | cpio -oacB --rsh-command=/usr/bin/rsh -O host:/root/a.cpio Segmentation fault # find . -print | /tmp/cpio -oacB --rsh-command=/usr/bin/rsh -O host:/root/a.cpio 20 blocks The second binary is from 2.5-9.RHEL4. No doubt something is broken there...
