The question is...how do I configure the ldm to grab the > data from a local source like what will be happening in my case? Are Lappin, I depends if your WSI system was set up using the LDM software? If that's the case, then all one would have to do is to configure the LDM to permit the remote machines to obtain the data. The remote machine would have to run an LDM and then request the data from the WSI machine. The usual LDM configuration is to place the LDM s/w in /opt/ldm. To permit the remote machines to get the data an ALLOW line needs to be entered in the etc/ldmd.conf file. Then a request line needs to be entered into the remote machines etc/ldmd.conf file. The details of these commands are located at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/workshop2001/Config_server.html#s1 Once we have determine your environment, I can give you the details that need to be done to get your configuration setup.
