Dave,

I am the one stopping and restarting the LDM on weather.  I am trying to
find out why the 6-minute profiler decoding is not working.

On a related note, I see that the LDM on weather has not been logging
since April:

weather:~/etc%cd ~ldm/logs
%ls -alt ldmd.log*
weather:~/logs> ls -alt ldmd.log*
-rw-r--r--    1 ldm      ldm             0 Apr 18  2001 ldmd.log
-rw-rw-rw-    1 ldm      ldm        106057 Apr 18  2001 ldmd.log.1
-rw-r--r--    1 ldm      ldm        216061 Apr 18  2001 ldmd.log.2
-rw-r--r--    1 ldm      ldm         38145 Apr 17  2001 ldmd.log.3

The error seen when starting the LDM is:

starting the LDM server...
syslogd: no process killed
hupsyslog: system("/etc/killall -HUP syslogd") returns 256
(E.G. It didn't work. Check that this program is setuid)
the LDM server has been started

This is the old "Debian doesn't run syslogd, it runs syslog-ng":

weather:~/logs> ps -eaf | grep syslog
root       165     1  0 Sep11 ?        00:48:49 /sbin/syslog-ng
ldm      29687 20401  0 15:18 pts/24   00:00:00 grep syslog

Didn't we figure out a fix for this sometime back?  It really should be
fixed so we can log the output from decoders.  This will help find out
why the 6-minute profiler decoding is no longer working.

Well still dont know how to set up syslog-ng to log to the ldm port but if
you look under /var/log/debug.log I think thats where all the DEBUG
messages (this includes LDM) goes to.  
Ya thanks for letting me know at least, i figured out it was you when i
saw the logins coming from gale.unidata.ucar.edu.  and idle times of 0
seconds :)
