Subject: Re: ldm change at atmos.albany.edu Organization: UCAR/Unidata Hi David, Yes, you can use aliases, but the DNS must be aware of the change. Upstream may need to go into etc/hosts and allow cypress.atmos.albany.edu until the alias propogates... Since you get: > echo $LDMHOSTNAME > ldm.atmos.albany.edu It would seem as if you set up your alias correctly. Keep us posted if the problem persists, and even if not..
