Hi Gerry,

I know that Jeff Weber already has responded to your inquiry, but I
wanted to jump in.

It is a shame that the machines used in Suominet are not using LDM-6
for data relay, but, as Jeff said, they were all cut with the same
image before being shipped.

The thing I really wanted to chat with you about was the disappearance
of bigbird: bigbird stopped reporting LDM-6 statistics several days
back.  Also, before it stopped reporting stats, I noticed that the
clock was only getting set once-per-day (like it was running ntpdate
out of cron, but the cron job was only running once a day).

Any idea of what happened to bigbird?

No idea on bigbird.  I've been swamped recently and it hadn't show up on 
my radar, since it'd been working fine.

I'll recheck NTP timesettings; I had started using ntpdate originally 
because of a firewall issue, since resolved, for ntp (no local server, 
another thing I intend to fix at its site).

I'll let you know what happened.
