Very good.

This looks correct.

This also looks correct.

This likely means that you did not complete the LDM installation.  The
last step in the LDM installation is to run 'make install_setuids' as
'root'.  Did you perform this step?

It looks correct.

There are a number of possibilities:

1) You show that you are requesting the QuikScat data in the pattern:

request HDS     "^ISXX.. KNES"          idd.unidata.ucar.edu    PRIMARY

   What you did not say is if you are running a 'pqact' invocation that
   will use the actions in your pqact.gempak (is this really the name of
   your pqact pattern/action file?).  If you are not running an invocation
   of pqact that specifies the use of the pqact.gempak file, then no
   processing will occur.

   Please send us your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file so we can take a closer
   look.

2) if you have an error in your pqact.conf file before the entry needed to
   process the QuikScat data, then the Quikscat entry will not be processed.

   To see if this might be the case, run:

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin pqactcheck -p pqact.gempak                 <- need to specify the name 
of the
                                                       pqact file to check

   If 'ldmadmin pqactcheck' shows any errors, you must edit your pqact.gempak
   file and correct them.  Run 'ldmadmin pqactcheck' until no errors are
   detected.  Then run 'ldmadmin pqactHUP' to tell pqact(s) to reread its(their)
   configuration file(s).  NOTE:  if you did not finish your LDM configuration
   as indicated above, you will have to stop and restart your LDM for your 
pqact.gempak
   edits to take effect.


> Anyone may be help me to resolve that problem?

A close look at your ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf file, and the pqact.gempak file should
help us locate your problem.

Cheers,

Tom
