Robert, Yesterday at about 1941 UTC, I started an LDM on our Sunos 5.10 i86pc system receiving the same CONDUIT data-products that you receive. So far it hasn't disconnected. The system is the same as yours: the command "uname -a" returns "SunOS buddy.unidata.ucar.edu 5.10 Generic_118844-26 i86pc i386 i86pc". I'm wondering if we've applied a patch that isn't yet on yours. I'll investigate. Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: AET-991057 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Open
