Something like this:
rmtape = rcmd(&rmtpeer, sp->s_port, "root", "root", "/etc/rmt", 0);

has to be something like this:
rmtape = rcmd(&rmtpeer, sp->s_port, name, name, "/etc/rmt", 0);

where name is the login id that owns the process.

for you to run rdump as a non-root user.  Unfortunately, the former
is what you find on ultrix, at least at 3.1.
