Hi, does something like the SUSE/Novell ntsutils (previously called "supportconfig") or Microsoft's MPS Reports exist for CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux? I mean a program that reads and exports various configurations and parameters to facilitate technical support. Thorsten

It reports on a variety of things and will even package up configs so that support folks can see what the user has. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
