Trust me, the first system I was an admin on, back in the mid-nineties, I was sleeping with the Fraesch Essential Systems Administration, as well as my late wife; the upside was that when the corporate sysadmins were brought in, almost a year later, my server was one of *two* that were normal, out of 27 projects.... And back then, I didn't have to worry about selinux (bleah!). mark ----------- Yep, I'm so new I just started last September and just when I think I've finally conquered one thing....I get hit with several fast curve balls. Sounds like your sleepless nights paid off in the corporate arena.....one of two - very impressive. Yes, I checked and service auditd status shows it is running.
