I don't have any specific tool in mind, but I'd suggest that you really need to run the tool on only one of the machines, and run a separate tool on them all that assures that they are identical, presumably made that way by wiping each and copying from a master That assumes the hardware is close enough to identical to make this practical. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
