heres a note from the 4.5 ndmp guide:

Note Remote NDMP supports 3-way backups of any NDMP
host running with NDMP
version V2, V3, and V4. The remote NDMP process, which
runs on the media
server, supports version V2.
Remote NDMP is supported on Solaris and Windows
NT/2000 platforms.

and here is v5:
Note Remote NDMP is supported only on Solaris and
Windows NT/2000/2003 platforms.

so if this question of linux is about remote ndmp,
than linux isnt supported yet...
normal ndmp operations will work (master only keeps
catalog info)
