My > question was... is this the port number that I use in the ldmd.conf i.e. "exec > pqing -vl /logs/whatever -P 388" Luc, Noop, 388 is the LDM port number that it uses to communicates to other LDM systems. The -P port number is the port that you are reading the data from your "port master" system. Don't put the other -P port number in the etc/services or etc/rpc number. or would I need a different port for this which > would mean another entry in the services file? Also before I set this box in > place do you think that perhaps I should not use version 5.0.9? 5.0.9 should work fine.
