We run a number of machines with CentOS 4 and 5 with no problems here.

Hello,

I'm attempting to set up an LDM instance for the first time and have run
into some issues. The machine is CentOS Linux; I'm using LDM 6.6.5.

When I start the LDM daemon, it fails to receive any products (according
to 'ldmadmin watch'), and logs messages of the form (host names redacted
at operators' request):

  Aug 29 04:20:51 ldm-server upstream.com[28268] NOTE: LDM-6 desired
    product-class: 20080829032051.817 TS_ENDT {{WMO, ".*"}}
  Aug 29 04:20:51 ldm-server upstream.com[28268] ERROR: Disconnecting
    due to LDM failure; nullproc_6 failure to upstream.com; RPC:
    Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer

at "pseudo-random" intervals, about 1 or 2 per second. 'ldmping' also
reports "Connection reset by peer".

The machine I'm running it on has a number of IP addresses set up on its
interface, and according to the upstream provider, their server is
rejecting our requests because the connections are coming from one of
the other IPs on the interface, i.e., not the one they ALLOWed.

I've set $ip_addr to the correct address in ldmadmin-pl.conf, LDM emits
a log message during startup that it is listening on that address, and
'netstat -l' also corroborates this. However, all signs seem to point to
the client code somehow failing to bind it's *outgoing* socket to that
address.

I'm not sure where to go from here as far as troubleshooting this. It
bears mentioning that I'm also getting an error message during startup
regarding a nonexistent file /etc/killall (which past traffic on this
list indicated was a problem with the configure script), but this
in itself doesn't seem to be causing any immediate problems.

Any pointers on investigating this would be greatly appreciated.
