[LDM #VPS-995567]: having trouble with ldm

Hi Frank,

OK.

re:

We setup our firewall rules by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables directly
and then, after making sure that the change is what we want, restart
'iptables' using:

service iptables restart

Excellent!

I tried contacting drizzl using 'notifyme' yesterday, and the attempt
went nowhere.  This is likely due to a firewall rule blocking our
connection attempt.  The firewall in question might be a campus one.

re:

Our being able to contact your LDM is not crucial given that what you
were trying to setup now works.  I think that your firewall is setup to
allow us, and, if I am correct, the configuration change would need to
be done elsewhere.  Again, this is not crucial.

Cheers,

Tom
