Thank you for this. This is my first time using a mailing list and I'm
still trying to figure things out. Hopefully this works better.

That makes a lot of sense. I'll take another stab at the patch with that in mind.
Is this the right mailing list to send that patch to?

Also, can anyone point me to some instructions on how to make the remote service
install work? I'd like to test that as well to make sure there aren't any
problems there. I did try just giving it a <remote host>/<service name> but that
didn't work. There's probably some communication channel that must be configured
beforehand that I'm missing.

Thanks,
James
