+1. Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories. Currently, it
honours it only on files. This means that a directory flagged with
the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without
the no-dump flag.
-3. Change the way rdump and rrestore call rmt. Currently, rcmd() is used
- but it may be better to call rsh. I have to look at the GNU tar code.

-4. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
+2. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
invocation, like the SunOS version.
+
+3. Verify that dump works correctly on rev 1 ext2fses (need success
+ reports)
+
+4. More documentation? Examples, crontab?
+
+5. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this
+ was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this
+ wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this.
+
+6. Explore and correct dump problems on a 4GB+ filesystem.
+
+7. Clean-up the code by removing all those #ifdef _BSD,
+ since nobody would ever re-compile this on a BSD system.
+ Since the tape format is the same, the native BSD
+ restore can be used to restore tapes...
+
+8. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
+ make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
+ of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a
+ (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we
+ already have the code for this).
