	Welcome to "that other inheritance" - you've just inherited the getIf support job!  Do you have access to the source?

	Correct.  They are insisting that you support the getIf tool for them.  That's your call, but we can't help you.  It's a buggy little tool.  I also see the "sysInfo variables OK" problem.  I note that getIf neither honors DNS search path nor allows more than 30 characters (bytes?) for host name, so I can't reach my machine by name.  My suspicion, BTW, is that there is some sort of validation rule being run on the data that is barfing and causing the data to not get displayed, for what that's worth.


	HTH,

Mike
