Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
While it's appropriate to take this off line..I know I would like to know if there are any stability issues at all with RH 7.3. As you know Sun refuses to say if there is any future for Solaris Intel..and has basically treated their Solaris Intel customers like dirt..so I am looking hard at gradually switching over to Linux. I personally have had many issues with Linux before (as I have said likely too many times here), but because of Sun's behavior we really have no choice. We don't want to be stuck with a dead end OS, and I would not trust what Sun says anyway as they reaffirmed the future of Solaris Intel 6 months before they killed it. There have to be some others in the same boat..so we would appreciate knowing any caveats regarding RH 7.3 and LDM.

I say Gilbert, Well there are many variables that could be causing your problem, one could be the LDM. Also, I'm sure your aware that the Linux glibc library has been updated twice in the last couple of weeks, not good huh. One the other hand, thelma (our main IDD LDM machine) has been upgraded to LDM 5.2 last monday and has been feeding many LDM 5.1.4 sites without any problems. So I think it's stable code, maybe it has problems on some platforms that I'm not aware. At this point, lets take this problem off the ldm-users list and I'll work personally with your to try to resolve it. I can set up a temporary feeder site here and try to duplicate the problem. Can you send the information about site environment, the versions of Linux, etc. Also, have you tried using the binary LDM distribution from Unidata? Don't forget the hardware setup too.
