What processes are invoked at each run level is system dependent. (I understand in Linux, for example, you can configure a variety of run levels easily.) The archives should be corrected (as I'm doing with this response) to say that the run level doesn't matter as long as the portmapper is up before the LDM starts. Thank you for pointing this out! Have you been able to reign in all those LDM processes? Anne -- *************************************************** Anne Wilson UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
