Re: [ldm-users] noaaportIngester config issues

And boom, I have put in a ticket to UNIDATA LDM support and UNIDATA NOAAport 
support to document this. Hopefully there is a much easier way to do this as 
before, where you don't have to tell CentOS and LDM where the packets are and 
should be; LDM just "knows".

This issue is not happening on the latest version of Debian.
