Anne,

That is true because they are running an older version of the LDM
requiring an accept.  But once the WSI products are entered into the queue
it's standard LDM configurations are only needed.   Your confusion about
the accept is that sites getting products from WSI need to have an accept
because WSI wrote their own s/w to distribute the products, it's not an
"LDM". This configuration requires an accept.

There are two different sources for the WSI data, an ingest machine like
our wsihcsn and WSI sending products over the internet to remote sites.
But, once the data is in the queue only the standard request line is
needed for the downstream nodes.


that wanted to feed from it, such as
> shemp.


  So, I thought it was different than requesting from desi.  This

That's what I thought since the short hostname.

Don't worry about that, it was only done to create LDM builds on Solaris
5.6.  wsihcsn is the only 5.6 machine at Unidata.
