John, I don't know if John got back to you yet as we've been to in-house training. I think the solution to the problem is to add access to the portmapper through TCP wrappers. Add this to /etc/hosts.allow; portmap: 127.0.0.1 and restart. If that doesn't work, add the system IP on the same line. I hope all is going well at the NSBF -- I haven't talked to you in years! mike On Sep 13, 4:13pm, John Hobbie wrote: > Subject: Re: 20050909:Slow LDM startup question (fwd) > > Hi All > > I have all the data you requested as attachments.
