Haven't we all done more or less the same at some time...?:-):-)

One thing Michael, ISTR you saying you used vi to edit the files... in
some quirky set of circumstance vi may miss such a thing as a
non-printable... "od" is your friend;-).

If it works on some hosts (that seem to be identical) and not on this
one... Either they aren't as similar as you think, or there is a
difference (that matters...) in the config files.
Don't give up.... yet!-):-)
