That's probably pretty tricky. What is a Redhat installation? What is it after half the files have been gutted and replaced with packages from elsewhere or source-built binaries? Once /etc/issue gets changed, there's nothing that conclusively identifies the machine as RedHat except for an arbitrary assortment of files and directories that may or may not be intact. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
