[McIDAS #ECE-924432]: Creating and populating a local ADDE server

Hi Kevin,

This should have been done by virtue of sourcing the environment
file ~mcidas/admin/mcidas_env.(sh|csh) at login:

OK.

I just tried to SSH to your machine from two different machines in two different
domains in Unidata:

128.117.140.62 - laraine.unidata.ucar.edu
128.117.156.80 - gale.unidata.ucar.edu

From both machines, the attempt would time out:

ssh: connect to host derecho.atmos.albany.edu port 22: Connection timed out

I can ping the machine, but not get in with SSH.

re:
> Thanks Tom!

No worries.

As soon as I can get in, I will review the build/installation; configure
ADDE datasets; and then review the setup for remote ADDE access.  Since
setting up remote ADDE access needs 'root' privilege, I will not be able
to configure things, but I can send back a step-by-step for what to do
as 'root' to get things setup.  Just so you know, port 112 will need to
be open for remote ADDE access.

Cheers,

Tom
