Robert, The problem you're encountering might be fixed in a beta version of the LDM that has yet to be released. That version has been and is being successfully tested here and at another site. You are welcome to try it. The URL is ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/beta/ldm-6.13.0.3.tar.gz The main difference that you would encounter is logging: your version uses the system logging daemon and, by default, the new version doesn't. Instead, logging occurs directly to the log file. This change should be transparent. You'll find, however, that the format of a log message is slightly different: it will have increased time precision and indicate where in the source-code the message was generated. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. > The version is 6.12.6. This communication can be public.
