Chris,

The problem is actually a weird one. Your connection has been good to
squall since last week so no new connections to has been made. It's only
when a new connections are made that a topo log entry is put into the log
file.  dostats gets the entry and sends it off to UPC.  Once a week, I
remove the topo file so it starts with a clean slat. I re-entered your
entry so the next hour your FOS stats should show. 

I didn't see any stats from pluto in the file here at UPC,  I would
suggest that you run dostats from the command line:

% ldmadmin dostats

It should register an error if there's a problem.  There should be a file
ldmbinstats.upc in the logs directory if everything is working OK . It
contains the statistics and topo information.  If there's  a problem, it's
most likely it can't find a mailer program.
