Anyone that cares to test it out and let me know, feel free..> You should not make that script to cope with every> possible setup.

I like this idea...that may or may not be needed, depending on the outcome of a redhat tester> > Best regards> Zsolt Rizsanyithanks, and you too :)the patch is in the next message
