Well, simple for you, Bill, with your mumble, mumble years of VM experience....:-) You already know that the ESAxxxx machines are Velocity products, FTPSERVE, PORTMAP, SMTP, etc. are part of the VM TCP/IP stack, and so forth. That knowledge may not be available to folks just now getting their feet wet in a VM environment.

That's why I suggested the TRACK approach....it's an explicit and deterministic method for identifying Linux guests.

Have a good one.
