[LDM #UKJ-478572]: REQUEST entries help

Brad,

Unfortunately, neither the regular-expression library that the LDM uses nor the 
FEEDME LDM protocol message supports the concept of "everything but".

You could use the regular-expression 
"^([^S]|S([^D]|(D([^U]|U([^S]|S([^4]|4[^5-9]))))))". I believe that will do 
what you want. A cheat-sheet for the extended regular-expression syntax used by 
the LDM can be found at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/ERE.html>.

Alternatively, you could set the value of the "OK and "not" fields in the 
relevant ALLOW entry of the LDM configuration-file on "cpsbn1" to the 
regular-expressions ".*" and "SDUS4[5-9]", respectively. This will allow you to 
request ".*" from host "cpsbn1".

I hope this helps.
