86.rpm.bin package

IBMtape-1.6.7-2.4.21-40.EL.i3

rpm qs IBMtape - Verify that the package is installed or not

grep IBMTape /etc/inittab - Confirm that the entry to autostart IBMtaped daemon af
ter reboot has been inserted into the /etc/inittab file automatically:
It should show ane entry similar to the following, also shown in the scrrenshot:
