 Hi tar-bugs,

  I installed tar-1.13.tar.gz on MacOS 10.1.1 with

configure --prefix=/usr/local/tar --host=freebsd
make -j 2
make install

It complained some, but it seened to work. I found that when I
tried to do a remote tar with -

tar -cvf cpcsto:/dev/nst0 xappl

I got the error message -

sh: Unknown host

I tracked down the error and fixed the calls to execl in rtapelib.c

        if (remote_user) 
          execl (remote_shell,  remote_host,                      
                 "-l", remote_user, "/etc/rmt", (char *) 0);
        else
          execl (remote_shell,  remote_host,                      
                 "/etc/rmt", (char *) 0);
  

   I do not know if the problem is unique to the Macintosh, but it fixed
the problem for me - tar now works ok in the remote mode.

    Dale.
