Problems with remote bru on PI's

Remove the passwd field in the guest account on the remote machine.
SGI is aware of the problem (not to say the security risk). I suggest
not going this route if you have a modem on the remote machine.

Once done, you can run other utilities remotely, such as "gr_osview".

I can say though, that "bru" is a great tool, and if the backup shells
shipped by SGI using "bru", ain't to your liking, write your own 
interface to "bru".

Good luck.
