OK. >Machine in question is ... Thanks. I logged onto the machine both as 'mcidas' and as a student and three things that contributed to problems: o there were three files in the student's mcidas/data directory that should not be there: FRAMED.001, TERMCHAR.001, and GRAPHICS. These fiels are created on a per-session basis and kept in a subdirectory of the users .mctmp directory. I removed them in a cleanup effort. o there are REDIRECTions for ASUS1* and FSUS2* in the user's mcidas/data/LWPATH.NAM pointing to /var/data/ldm/surface/front. Since there is no such directpory, I removed the REDIRECTions. You may want to edit the LOCAL.NAM copy of EXAMPLE.NAM in the ~mcidas/data directory and remove these REDIRECTions there (so new users will not run into the same problem). o I found a bug in ~mcidas/bin/upcguiprocs.tcl that was causing plots/contours to be put on the current frame instead of on the frame specified by the various McIDAS strings (e.g., ?SFRM, ?UFRM, ?NFRM, ?PFRM). I am simply amazed that I never ran into this problem before. I guess that it just goes to show that I always overlay analyses on top of satellite images. So, the copy of upcguiprocs on 199.17.31.16 in the ~mcidas/bin directory has the fix for the problem you have been seeing. You should propogate this module to your other machines running McIDAS-X. >I will check waldo also, but for now it is not the problem. >From address@hidden Thu May 18 10:05:02 2000 >I snooped around on waldo and have the same problem trying >to telnet in to waldo from other machines here.

Do you or perhaps >Mike S have any suggestions? I am betting that telnet services were shut off in /etc/inetd.conf. Edit this file as 'root' and make sure that the telnet line is not commented out: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd If it is, uncomment it and then send a HUP signal to the inetd process: kill -HUP <process_id_of_inetd> You would do the above IF you want to allow logins from other machines, of course.
