It appears that the problem is a strange interaction between your request pattern: UNIWISC|HDS|DDPLUS ".*|!^SDUS5.*" and a code modification in LDM 6.3.0 that tries to "fix" incorrect patterns on the server side (the LDM on unidata2 was upgraded from a very old distribution (6.0.14) to the current release (6.3.0) by me today). Since I saw no 'Denying' connection messages in the ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file, and since I verified that data was flowing to UPC machines feeding from unidata2, I expected that everyone was getting data OK. Apparently you are the only downstream that saw any effect. Your feed request is apparently trying to get everything except products whose headers start with SDUS5. Since products with headers of SDUS5 are NEXRAD Level III products, and since your request line does not include NNEXRAD data, the simplest fix is for you change your request line: request UNIWISC|HDS|IDS|DDPLUS ".*" unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu -- or -- request UNIWISC|WMO ".*" unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu -- or -- request UNIDATA ".*" unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu Please correct your ldmd.conf request line; fail back to unidata2; and let us know that you are once again getting the data you want. Cheers, Tom Yoksas -- NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web. If you do not want to have your interactions made available in this way, you must let us know in each email you send to us. >From address@hidden Tue Apr 19 20:32:59 2005 Tom, I think that was in there from long ago when the IDD ingest switched over to NOAAport from the original satellite feed. At any rate, I've changed it to just UNIDATA ".*" and data seems to be flowing just fine.
