[LDM #NDJ-862794]: Problems accessing data from Southern Region HQ LDM

Doug,

In a previous posting, you wrote

Just FYI, the 3rd field of an ALLOW entry is a regular expression. As such, an
unescaped period means "any character" rather than a period. It must be
escaped with a backslash (e.g., "140\.90\.100\.153") to obtain what you 
want. Even better would be to anchor the beginning and end of the string
(e.g., "^140\.90\.100\.153$") to eliminate any possibility of a mistaken
match.

This can't cause the problem you're seeing, however.

I'd like to propose an experiment that can't possibly have any effect.
Would you be so kind as to remove the in-line comment
"# vm-lnx-ncodfdev.ncep.noaa.gov" from the relevant ALLOW entry and
restart your LDM.

Justin, 

Would you then please start your LDM (if it isn't already running)
and also simultaneously execute the notifyme(1) and "ldmadmin watch" in
two xterm(1)s as before. Let it run until you're certain that the LDM
isn't receiving the products listed by the notifyme(1).

Let me know if Hades has frozen over and this solves the problem.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
