[Bug-tar] /usr/libexec/rmt: No such file or directory

TAR Bugs:

With the TAR 1.14-2.3 Package installed under Debian 3.1 (Sarge), I am 
having problems getting TAR to save Output onto a Remote Host...

The Error Message reads as follows:

   bash: line 1: /usr/libexec/rmt: No such file or directory

After trying a few variations of Softlinks for /usr/libexec/rmt the only 
Workaround which worked was adding the following to the Command Line:

   --rmt-command=/sbin/rmt

Curiously a Softlink from "/usr/libexec/rmt" to "/sbin/rmt" does NOT work 
either!!!  The last time I know a Remote TAR Save worked was the end of 
2006, unfortunately other than that I can NOT pin point when this stopped 
working???

NOTE: I have been using Remote TAR Saves for years, this is NOT the first
      time I have tried to use it...  Yes the Remote Host (CentOS 3.8
      in this Case) has been configured to accept Remote rsh/rexec/rlogin
      Commands for ROOT on the Sarge Host...
