I nearly fell out of my chair when I read your statement statement above.

Why would you assume that?

When people, especially the ones here with decades of hands on UNIX and Linux experience, ask you for information, you should provide the info they ask for without hesitation.

Most people with decades of experience have realized that the vast majority of user errors and issues are general and they can be solved by looking at the input and output of the system, the log files and the operating environment.

We find that most users with problems do not even read their only system log files and we need to ask them to look at their own log files, believe it or not (shocking!?) . Smilie

So, we don't need to install every tool and every operating system on the planet to help you, but you do need to provide the system information we request.

That's how it works.

So, please provide the information Don requested.

Thanks.
