Clint,

OK.  Hmm... you are using NIS, aren't you?  Could it be that you
have to do something in NIS to allow access to certain processes
on certain ports?  The non-NIS user sets up ADDE access by running
a shell script as 'root' from the ~mcidas directory;  The current
shell is mcinet2003.sh.  This script was run on papagayo, and so
entries were added to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.  I
seem to vaguely (CRS) recall that you have to do something different
on papagayo because of your use of NIS.  Am I remembering this
correctly?

>PS Nice to hear from you even if it's only about a problem.

When are you coming out to Boulder next?

Tom,

Yeah, we're running NIS+ and maybe that's the problem.  I don't remember
what I had to do differently when we set up 500 and 503 (or that I had to do
anything), but I'll look into it.

I might be coming this summer if I can figure out how to pay for the MM5/WRF
user's conference.
