I logged onto twister as 'mcidas' and did a 'ls -l'. I saw the expected link from .mctmp to /tmp/mctmp. When I did an 'ls' of /tmp, however, I did not find a /tmp/mctmp. I created it: mkdir /tmp/mctmp ln -s .mctmp /tmp/mctmp and then tested McIDAS to see if it would work: cd workdata dmap.k AREA012 PERM SIZE LAST CHANGED FILENAME DIRECTORY ---- --------- ------------ -------- --------- -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 20:20 AREA0120 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 21:24 AREA0121 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 22:20 AREA0122 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 17 09:19 AREA0123 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 17 10:19 AREA0124 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 17 11:34 AREA0125 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 16:18 AREA0126 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 17:19 AREA0127 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 18:24 AREA0128 /var/data/mcidas -rw- 2439056 Mar 16 19:23 AREA0129 /var/data/mcidas 24390560 bytes in 10 files This tells me that McIDAS does work like it should. Is it possible that the /tmp/mctmp directory was inadvertantly not created? This appears to be the sole cause of the failure, at lease from my quick test. Tom
