I think it should be /etc/rmt (if I remember correctly you should be
accessing the remote-tape device - but it's been a while since I last
did that).
you also have to enable rsh, rlogin, and rexec on the tape host ane make
"/.rhosts" to allow root to connect to this machine without password. I
think the syntax for .rhosts is in 'man hosts.equiv'
