Thanks @jwhonce. Should I not be pointing that the remote_client tutorial or add a pointer to the mac_client too? |
|
@TomSweeneyRedHat I would add the mac_client pointer. |

@jwhonce think I've captured what you're saying. I was trying to keep it as concise as possible and just provide pointers. PTAL |
