Thanks for revealing some background about it :) I find it always interesting, how things roll on other ends. Probably, I would have started of with some python-foo to solve this. I think you found a reasonably good solution for your problem. This is also the biggest burden I have as sysadmin, to keep legacy up and running. So I feel your pain a bit :) Cheers, -- Bastian
