I made a mistake when I tarred up a directory, I added the '..' before
the directory name.  Now when I try to untar it, I get the following
error (I only showed the last 10 or so lines, similar error different
filename):

../etc/rndc.conf.rpmsave
tar: ../etc/rndc.conf.rpmsave: Member name contains `..'
../etc/lynx.cfg.ja
tar: ../etc/lynx.cfg.ja: Member name contains `..'
../etc/gshadow.lock
tar: ../etc/gshadow.lock: Member name contains `..'
../etc/ssh_random_seed
tar: ../etc/ssh_random_seed: Member name contains `..'
../etc/group.lock
tar: ../etc/group.lock: Member name contains `..'
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

How would I fix this problem???
