Functions in this library provide an interface to a remote tape server program.
.LP
This implementation takes care of
.B RMT protocol VERSION 1 

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.LP
.TP
.B RSH
If the 
.B RSH
environment is present, the remote connection will not be created via
.BR rcmd (3)
but by calling the program pointed to by
.BR RSH .
Use e.g. 
.BR RSH= /usr/bin/ssh
to create a secure shell connection.
.TP
.B RMT
If the 
.B RMT
environment is present, the remote tape server will not be the program
.B /etc/rmt
but the program pointed to by
.BR RMT .
Note that the remote tape server program name will be ignored if you log in
using an account that has been created with a remote tape server program as
login shell.
