Would it be >possible to upgrade all three at once? I can upgrade your McIDAS installation, but that should wait until the new release, v2003, is ready for download (mid-July). GEMPAK is available in binary form, so that should be an easy upgrade for someone there. We would like to get your LDM upgraded as soon as possible. >I'm not sure that we can give out the root password to the box. Thanks >for the offer though. OK, I can do the LDM installation up to the point of the last step and then let you know what needs to be done. I will need the 'ldm' password to get this going. I would just as soon do it today if at all possible. >> On a separate, but relate topic: can I get you to upgrade to the latest >> release of the LDM-6. Statistics we are receiving show that you are >> still running LDM-5.x. The upgrade to LDM-6 is quick and easy, and it >> has proven to improve data ingestion at sites. >> >> We are willing to do the LDM-6 upgrade and ldmd.conf tuning for you as >> long as you give us logins for 'ldm' and 'root' ('root' login is only >> needed if you do not support 'sudo'; one step in the LDM installation >> requires 'root' to change the mode of rpc.ldmd and hupsyslog).
