We still need to go through and ethnically clense our handling of variables in general, actually. It would be nice if there was a STANDARD NAMING CONVENTION that told one whether or not a given variable was a Boolean, a list of arguments, a list of things that had their own sub-variables (like the network_interfaces var), etc. Probably the time to do that is now before it gets too big, but I'm also not going to hold my breath. It's work. Jordanhome | help
