You are correct: no swap is being used.  My mistake.

The "nprods" and "nempty" variables indicate that the product-queue is
limited by the amount of data space and not by the number of slots.
The age of the oldest product is still less than one hour.

I've enclosed the script "plotUptime".  A typical invocation would be
    plotUptime -u ldm01 -f logs/tigge-ldm.uptime tigge-ldm.cma.gov.cn </dev/null

The entry "ALLOW        ANY     tgn00   .*" allows any computer
with "tgn00" in its fully-qualified hostname to request data.  This
is probably not what you want.
The entry "allow        ANY     depot\.cmc\.ec\.gc\.ca  .*" allows
any computer with "depot.cmc.ec.gc.ca" in its name to obtain data.
This is why the request from "accessdepot-nat.cmc.ec.gc.ca"
is denied.
I've attached a modified LDM configuration-file that should work better.
You should check it against your existing configuration-file.  The
main difference is the increased use of regular-expression anchors:
start-of-string (^) and end-of-string ($).

Steve Emmerson
