Possibly because the vmware networking stuff isn't set up properly on boot. I'd really recommend you not to run your monitoring server as a vmware guest. Besides the fact that system clocks usually gets a royal screwover by vmware, it's a tremenduously bad idea to have your monitoring system depend on something it's monitoring. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
