I wouldn't trust the "ldmadmin check" command.  It's deprecated.

Does the LDM configuration-file (etc/ldmd.conf) have an entry like the
following for starting the rtstats(1) utility?

    EXEC        "rtstats -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu"

(This assumes that the computer in Portugal should report to the UPC.)

If yes, then is an rtstats(1) process executing?  Check with a command
like this:

    ps -ef | grep rtstats

Can the computer in Portugal ping(1) the rtstats(1) reporting computer?
Check with this command:

    ping rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu
