Hi,
I have been playing around with tape restores after finally getting what I believe was a successful backup.
When I tried using the restore now RPM on a 5.1.2 server, I got this log
May 29 13:15:55 mainserver e-smith[23255]: Processing event: RestoreNow
May 29 13:15:55 mainserver e-smith[23255]: Running event handler: /etc/e-smith/events/RestoreNo

I note the device that was tring to be opened was /dev/tty when maybe it should be /dev/sto for a SCSI tape??
Any ideas?
