Are the XCD data monitors dying?  You would be able to see this if
there were multiple, repeated entries in the ~mcidas/workdata/XCD_START.LOG
file.

Since things were working, it is unlikely that the code had gone bad.

Perhaps the SYSKEY.TAB file got corrupted?

OK.  I tried logging on with the information you sent, but I got repeated
denials:

>Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Could you check the logins and get back to me with valid ones?  Thanks.
