Hi Greg, re: > Yes you have the correct fully qualified name. OK, good. re: > Ted tells me there is no > firewall set up on typhoon. Port 112 and others are completely open to > users inside the NCAR perimeter. OK. I logged onto a Unidata machine that is inside of the UCAR security perimeter, and was able to replicate your observation: /home/yoksas% cd $MCDATA /home/yoksas/mcidas/data% dataloc.k ADD EOLGOESR typhoon.eol.ucar.edu Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- EOLGOESR TYPHOON.EOL.UCAR.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.

What about the permissions on ~mcidas and ~mcidas/bin? re: what are the read/write permissions on ~mcidas and ~mcidas/.mcenv? > drwx------ 2 mcadde mcidas 72 Mar 14 16:16 mcadde > drwxr-x--- 21 mcidas mcidas 4096 Mar 23 17:11 mcidas The Unidata guidelines for setting up the user 'mcadde' are very specific: - the HOME directory should be the _same_ as the HOME directory for the user 'mcidas' - 'mcadde' should not be a login account Given your listing, I strongly suggest that the first thing that you (or Ted) try is to change the setup for 'mcadde'. I personally would run: <as 'root'> vipw re: > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mcidas mcidas 591 Mar 23 10:23 .mcenv I'm thinking that the problem lies completely with the HOME directory setup for 'mcadde'.
