Description Rene Ladan 2005-05-31 21:30:01 UTC 
	Although mentioned in the 5.3R release notes, the text in chapter
	16.11.2 of the Handbook still refers to GNU tar as the (only) tar to use:

	" ... The GNU version of tar, which FreeBSD utilizes, supports remote
	devices using the same syntax as rdump ... "
	
	<sidenote>
	This doesn't seem to apply to bsdtar:
	
	$ bsdtar cf localhost:/usr/home/rene/test.tar localfile
	tar: Failed to open 'localhost:/usr/home/rene/test.tar': No such file or directory
	</sidenote>

I changed the wording a bit but commited to revision 1.241 of 
chapter.sgml.  The website should be updated within 24 hours.  Thanks 
for the submission!
