Yes. The time stamps on ldmd.conf and the ldmd.pid file coupled with the allow content of ldmd.conf verify this: /local/ldm% dir etc/ldmd.conf 722587 -rw-r--r-- 1 ustaff 10410 Apr 4 10:15 etc/ldmd.conf /local/ldm% dir ldmd.pid 685991 -rw-rw-r-- 1 ustaff 6 Apr 4 11:36 ldmd.pid allow ANY-WSI-NLDN frost.wunderground.com allow ANY-WSI-NLDN ^(berry|whirlpool)\.wunderground\.com$ allow ANY-WSI-NLDN ^(sleet|ingestor)\.wunderground\.com$ I am seeing connection denied messages in thelma's LDM log file: Apr 04 19:42:57 thelma.ucar.edu rpc.ldmd[29330]: gethostbyaddr: failed for 66.28.250.166 Apr 04 19:42:57 thelma.ucar.edu rpc.ldmd[29330]: Denying connection from 66.28.250.166 When I saw your original email, I checked to see if I could do a name lookup for berry.wunderground.com: (laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 790 % nslookup -sil berry.wunderground.com Server: 128.117.140.62 Address: 128.117.140.62#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: berry.wunderground.com Address: 66.28.250.166 and this incorrectly satisfied me that berry was set to go.
