rdump and/or rrestore on SGI's 4D machines

If they're the versions of dump and restore that we run (and they
should be:-), then they should handle remote dumps just fine -- none
of our SGIs has an attached Exabyte.  Just provide a "hostname:"
before the device, ensure that the remote end has an /etc/rmt and that
dump is setuid root (needs to talk to the remote rshd to run rmt, I
think).  If I remember right, both dump and restore still use the
annoying old syntax for hostname.user, so if hostname has a '.' in it,
you *have* to provide the .user even if it is the same as the local
end.
