Hi Guus Thank you for your response. I was using "name = site1" I added in a space in previous mail by accident. I tried again and I think my error was related to me not using Ctrl+D as I was using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+| to break out . I did try with Ctrl+D again and it works exactly as you mentioned and I am receiving the "Imported 3 host configuration files." , i think I was just tired after scratching my head too long and was "fat fingering". Thanks again
