Angel,

re: installed updates to the ship/buoy data monitor

Yes, this is the same problem.  The executable you were killing was
dmsyn.k.  I watched the newly built version several times after I did
the update, and have not seen it misbehave.  Please let me know if you
see something different.

You should leave port 388 open for the LDM.  This relies on the
installation done by our recommendations where rpc.ldmd and hupsyslog
have setuid root privilege.  If this is not done, the LDM has to
connect using the port mapper.  We feel that the port mapper is much
more insecure than the LDM.

>Thanks for repointing the DATALOC for RTPTSRC.

No problem.  Like I said, the situation you were in is a classic ADDE
gotcha.
