You will still reclass on receipt of data older than 3600s unless you tell rpc.ldmd to request and accept this data - this is independent of how long you keep that data in your queue. In your ~ldm/bin/ldmadmin script, you can add the -m offtime to the rpc.ldmd command line which is built. For instance, adding "rpc.ldmd -m 7200" will request data up to 2 hours old from your upstream, and your ldm will reclass when you fall behind that time. This still relies on how big the upstream queue is- and how long they keep the data of course. Steve Chiswell
