Patrick,

Oh, how I wish that was the case :-(

Excellent!

Right.  This is a problem for McIDAS now, but it will go away in a
future release when the only port used for access will be 112, the port
that Unidata registered with Iana for McIDAS use a number of years
ago.

The absolute easiest thing to do at this point is:

<as 'root'>
cd /home/mcidas
sh ./mcinet2003.sh uninstall mcadde
sh ./mcinet2003.sh install mcadde

This time, answer YES to the question asking about overriding isakmp.

Comments about 'service' below.

Don't worry about 'service' not being found (it should have been
installed with the OS install, but hey...).

All that mcinet2003.sh is trying to do is have xinetd reread its
configuration files.  This can be accomplished 'by hand' by sending  a
HUP signal to the xinetd process as 'root'.  The same thing is
accomplished by stopping and restarting xinetd either by hand or by
reboot.
