[IDD #DMU-487524]: IDD node name definition for cacimbo.ggy.uga.edu

Hi Tom,

I hope that things are going well for you...

I am writing to ask you to look into the name cacimbo is sending back
to us in its real time statistics reporting.  Currently, cacimbo is
identifying itself as:

cacimboggyugaedu

instead of:

cacimbo.ggy.uga.edu

In our real time statistics page:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/siteindex.php

The name that is reported back is defined in the file
~ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf as follows:

chop($hostname = `uname -n`);
# $hostname = "your.hostname.here";

If the machine's hostname is fully defined, then the `uname -n` option
is what needs to be used.  If it is not, or if it is somehow defined
incorrectly, the LDM site administrator needs to comment out the first
line and uncomment and modify the second:

# chop($hostname = `uname -n`);
$hostname = "cacimbo.ggy.uga.edu";

Can you check to see if cacimbo's hostname is fully and correctly
defined as follows:

<as 'ldm'>
uname -n

If it is not, please do the following:

- comment out the 'chop' line from ~ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf

- uncomment the $hostname line

- set the hostname value to cacimbo.ggy.uga.edu so that the
  line looks like:

$hostname = "cacimbo.ggy.uga.edu";

- stop and restart your LDM using:

  ldmadmin restart

Given the strange name being used in real time statistics reports, I am
guessing that $hostname was incorrectly defined in ~ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf,
but there is always the possibility that the fully qualified hostname is
set incorrectly in the OS.

Thanks in advance for helping us out!

Cheers,

Tom
