Thanks, but that makes it a problem to justify any extra cost. I don't think my company cares whether I have to work a little harder or not, and in fact I'd rather edit a few config files than deal with the paperwork every year to get approvals for an extra expense. And since I maintain other stock Centos boxes it is probably easier to clone them and be able to move services around than to have something different with different update repositories. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
