I've got enough info now to figure out how to do my own parser, I believe I'll use that ShowSummary command rather than the LDInfo/PDInfo commands used by the other scripts. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
