Partial Summary: ufsdump from a remote server via ssh

Thanks, not a path issue but Openssh is not there in Solaris 8.

The command is :
ufsdump 0uf - test.txt | ssh slagpo@10.51.101.5 "cd /tmp; cat > test.dmp;
gzip test.dmp"
(tested between 2 Solaris 10 servers)

(One reply corrected my original command :
  # nohup ufsdump 0uf - /  | ssh myuserid@10.51.101.5 "cd /ora/destdir;
   zip ufsdump.zip -"


I'll need to install from www.sunfreeware.com  Openssh (& the
pre-requisites Openssl & lastly libgcc) but after restarting (by issuing
"/usr/sbin/sshd2 restart" ), ssh now has a message :

# /usr/local/bin/ssh myuserid@10.51.101.5 <myuserid@10.51.101.5>
PRNG is not seeded

(Some of those suggestions from google did not resolve PRNG error
  above)

NFS share is not permitted for security reason.


Thanks again,
U
