I've updated my post. You can now savely copy & paste the code. Also don't forget to update the rma service script in /etc/init.d if you have used this. I run the same code on ESX3.5 U4 successfully, so there's nothing wrong with the code itself. Let me know if it solved your problem. -Arnim Hi Ludo,
