That's really helpful & very appreciated. I'm steadily working through my home LAN (six machines) & three remote VPS boxes & Nagios is going to be a great addition to the toolkit.

Once again, thanks, Cheers, Phil... - -- But masters, remember that I am an ass. Though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass. Wm.
