20020403: Chage LDM server from cirrus to rainbow

Hsie,

re:
>MSCD has trouble receiving data from my new server "rainbow.al.noaa.gov".

The 'accept' lines in ldmd.conf are not needed by LDM 5 servers.  This
construct was originally developed for LDM 4 protocols.  It went away
a long time ago with the exception of point-to-point feeds from WSI.
Since WSI has upgraded their LDM to 5 protocols, the accept lines are
not even needed for those feeds.

If Tony continues to have problems feeding from you, he should see
if the DNS server he is using can do the necessary forward and
reverse name lookups for your machine, and you should do the same
for Tony's machine.

A quick test for Tony to run is to see if he can do a notifyme to
rainbow:

notifyme -vxl- -f ANY -h rainbow.al.noaa.gov

I ran this command successfully from a machine here at the UPC, so I
know that rainbow is accessible.

I hope that this helps...

Hsie and Tom,

Thanks for the suggestions.  A NOTIFYME command returns the following:

wxbox% notifyme -vxl- -f ANY -h rainbow.al.noaa.gov
Apr 04 19:29:06 notifyme[19785]: Starting Up: rainbow.al.noaa.gov: 
2002040419290
6.062 TS_ENDT {{ANY,  ".*"}}
Apr 04 19:29:06 notifyme[19785]: NOTIFYME(rainbow.al.noaa.gov): 7: Access 
denied
 by remote server

A new firewall was installed down here last weekend and I'm in the process of 
checking with the network folks to see if this is related.  I'll let you know.
 In the mean time, I'll feed from cirrus.

Thanks,

Tony

wxbox.mscd.edu is definitely in rainbow.al.noaa.gov's allow list.

allow   UNIDATA|FSL2|NEXRAD
        ^wxbox\.mscd\.edu$

I can not see you from my end either:

There must be some routing problem.  I do not see any connect messages
in my ldmd.log.

I do not understanding these two.  I can contact 147.153.170.11 port 388
from cirrus.  But I can not contact 147.153.170.11 port 388 from
rainbow:

Here is what a TCPDUMP captures from just inside of our firewall.
It shows that "rainbow" is sending RST's back to wxbox just after
the 3 way handshake.

In the meantime, I put "147.153.170.11  wxbox.mscd.edu" entry to my
/etc/hosts file.  The system should consult the file first before it
consult DNS.  Hope this will help.
