[LDM #APJ-776066]: new noaaport install

Hi Brendon,

Actually, the way I left your machine was without specific routing for
the UDP packets coming from your Novra S300N.  Instead, I added the
'-I 192.168.1.5' clause to each of the noaaportIngester EXECs in your
machines LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf.  This modification
still relies on packets from the S300N not being blocked by the machine's
firewall.

The packets from the S300N are coming in on several ports, none of which
are the one the LDM uses, 388.

re:
> I've turned off the firewall and

The best solution is to edit your firewall configuration to allow _all_
traffic on the private Ethernet interface that the S300N is connected to.
Please note that my/our assumption is that the only thing connected
to your Ethernet interface that you configured to have the IP address
of 192.168.1.5 is your S300N.  If this is the case, there is no need for
the firewall to interfere with any of the traffic since it will all
originate either from the S300N for data or from your machine, noaapor5,
when it "talks" (via cmcs which I put in your ~ldm/util directory) to
the S300N.

Cheers,

Tom
