Hi Jason,

Probably someone turned on some RPC authentication that is rejecting
your request.  There are different varieties of authentication.  The
three standard are: none (the default), UNIX-style, and Data Encryption
Standard (DES).  Home grown varieties are also possible.  The LDM
expects the default.  Your upstream host is apparently not using that.

This should be discussed with the system administrator of the upstream
host.
