Sent this yesterday not sure why it didn't get posted. Here it is
again.
Mike,
I agree there should be a simpler method. After doing the same
for about the first ten systems I set up I decided to write a script to
do all the leg work for me. Here is my twhelp.sh script that should
make life much simpler for you. Hope this helps out. Any comments or
ideas for improvement are welcome.

# twhelp will comment out lines from a twpol.txt file when #
# supplied with a twreport_file and the path to twpol.txt #
# and create a twpol.txt.fixed file #
# #
# usage: twhelp twreport_file path_to_twpol.txt #
