Phil,

The downstream machine should have a request line like:

request EXP ".*" barah.anc.nwsar.gov

The upstream machine should have an allow like:

allow EXP deke.arh.nwsar.gov

I'm assumming that deke is downstream and barah is the upstream machines,
otherwise switch the above entries.

This is easy to solve, make a link:

% ln -s /home/ldm /usr/local/ldm

You might have to mkdir /usr/local and be root



Back to your original question, use pqinsert on the upstream machine:

% pqinsert -vl - -q /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq <filename>

Look at the man page for pqinsert:
