Hi Boris,
Thanks for providing the needed access information for your machine. It
was crucial in getting things working.
Here is what I found and the actions I took:
1) the reason that setting up the remote ADDE server wasn't working:
The script /home/mcidas/mcidas2009.sh runs a command ('service xinetd
status')
and parses its output to determine if xinetd is running. It does this by
looking for the word 'isrunning' in the output. The problem is that you
have your machine configured to use Spanish, not English, so the return
of this command was not what was expected.
I made things work by modifying /home/mcidas/mcinet2009.sh to check for
the output of 'service xinetd status' in Spanish.
2) the next step in getting remote serving of data available using ADDE
was to adjust the firewall on your machine -- I opened up access
through port 112, the port that ADDE uses
3) configuring the 'mcidas' account to be able to read the imagery
files in the ~boris/$MCDATA directory and subdirectories
I had to change the read/write/execute permissions for several
directories so that 'mcidas' could find and read AREA files. The
directories changed to have the 755 permissions were:
/home/boris/mcidas
/home/boris/mcidas/data
/home/boris/mcidas/03ABRIL
/home/boris/mcidas/02ABRIL
/home/boris/mcidas/01ABRIL
I also changed the read/write/execute permissions on the AREA files
in the above directories to be 664.
NB: when you create new sets of images in /home/boris/mcidas/data
(e.g., /home/boris/mcidas/data/04ABRIL, etc.), you _must_ make sure
that the directories that the AREA files are included in have
755 permissions, AND you must make sure that the AREA files have
644 permissions. If this is not clear, simply look at the
existing directories/files under /home/boris/mcidas/data.
4) finally, I setup some ADDE datasets for the data you have already
gathered:
STORM/SND01ABRIL
STORM/SND02ABRIL
STORM/SND03ABRIL
I verified that the images in these datasets are accessible from other
machines by looking at them in McIDAS on my workstation:

IMGLIST: done
Comments:
- remote access through ADDE is now available on your machine
- you will access the data in the datasets I setup in McIDAS-V
in the same way that you learned for the SSEC Data Center
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Tom
