Thank you. BTW, 2.2 is not outdated. It just what RedHat supports for RHEL6. We can't go to 2.4 until we go to RHEL7. We on government contracts are not free to upgrade to the latest and greatest at our whim. We can only make suggestions, but ultimately the decisions are made by the people paying our salaries. We only upgraded to RHEL6 about 8 months ago, so it will be a while before we go to RHEL7.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!
