Hi Adam,

Very good.

The needed ALLOW change on rainbow.al.noaa.gov has already been made
(I interacted with someone else at Metro State at the end of last year,
and adding appropriate ALLOWs for bora was a result).

Start the LDM on bora :-)

Here is something you can do to assure yourself that rainbow.al.noaa.gov
is configured to send data to bora:

<login as 'ldm' on bora>
notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h rainbow.al.noaa.gov

If rainbow is properly configure (it is; I just checked), and if bora
has needed forward and verse DNS (it does; I just checked), then the
data you request will begin flowing to bora.  The next thing, of course
is what you will do with the data when it reaches bora?  Presumably,
you will have also copied over the LDM pattern-action file(s) from
wxbox to bora. 

Question:

- have you reviewed the processing that you have been doing on
  wxbox?

  If yes, what decoders will it be running?

- have you made sure that the decoders that have been running on
  wxbox are replicated on bora?

  Please remember that the decoders that you run on bora need to
  be compatible with bora's architecture (i.e., if bora has
  a different architecture than wxbox, then executables for
  bora's architecture need to be used)

Cheers,

Tom
