The mcinet7.7.sh was designed to work with systems that are running
inetd.  RedHat 7.0 Linux no longer runs inetd.  The procedures listed
in the Notes and Warnings online document:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/mcidas/770/mcx/warnings_mcx.html

describe what you have to do on RedHat 7.0 Linux to get the remote
server setup.

The syntax on a system that is running inetd would be:

sh ./mcinet7.7.sh install mcadde

You would have to create the 'mcadde' account before doing this
(so there would be an entry in /etc/passwd).  Please review the
instructions for the creation of the 'mcadde' account in the
online doucmentation:
