I am *very* pleased to report that help from Ian Taylor fixed the problem -- the listing of commands available to be executed on each system in the sys file need to be space seperated, not comma seperated. There were other problems too, but I think I have them all sorted out. *sigh* It's the little things that get you... Thanks everyone for the help and concern; you guys are great. :) :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
