OK.  I was able to logon successfully.

Access to the remote ADDE server does not seem to work. Here is
what I did to ascertain this:

<login as 'mcidas'>
cd solaris/workdata

I found that the 'mcidas' account is looking at the remote adde
server on stratus for most datasets:

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
DATALOC -- done

This works OK showing that the code built under Solaris 10 is working.

I then verified that dataset definitions were setup on hail:

dsserve.k LIST RTIMAGES

RTIMAGES/GE-IR           IMAGE AREA                  GOES-East Hemispheric IR

DIRFILE=/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/GOES-12/4km/VIS/VIS_*
 ...

I then verified that the data is in the directories specified in
the definitions above:

ls /wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_*
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_0000
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_0600
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_0900
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_1200
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_1800
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051209_2100
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_0000
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_0300
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_0600
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_0900
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_1200
/wrk/data/sat/mcidas/ANTARCTIC/4km/IR/IR_20051210_1500

Then I tried to point at the remote ADDE interface:

dataloc.k ADD RTIMAGES hail.al.noaa.gov

Group Name                    Server IP Address
--------------------         ----------------------------------------
RTIMAGES                     HAIL.AL.NOAA.GOV

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
DATALOC -- done

Everything is good up until this point.  Interrogating the remote
server interface in any way, however, fails:

dsinfo.k IMAGE RTIMAGES
dsinfo.k: cannot run server 'lwprserv': No such file or directory
    No Datasets found of Type: IMAGE in Group: RTIMAGES
DSINFO -- done

imglist.k RTIMAGES/GE-IR
Image file directory listing for:RTIMAGES/GE-IR
imglist.k: cannot run server 'adirserv': No such file or directory
imglist.k: done


It looks like the configuation setup for the remote server access
is not correctly passing a '-H' flag whose value should be the
HOME directory of the mcadde account.  In fact, nothing is being
passed to the initial ADDE executable ~mcidas/solaris/bin/mcservsh.

I have hardwared things to work by modifying ~mcidas/solaris/bin/mcservsh:

TZ=GMT
export TZ

McINST_ROOT='/home/mcidas/solaris'

case $1 in
-H)     HOME="$2"
        shift
        shift

        [ -f "$HOME/.mcenv" ] &&
           . "$HOME/.mcenv"
        ;;

*)      # <<<<< UPC add 20051210 - for Solaris 10 >>>>>
        [ -f "$McINST_ROOT/.mcenv" ] &&
           . "$McINST_ROOT/.mcenv"
        ;;
esac

It would be much better, however, to figure out how the command line
options should be passed to mcservsh using svcs.

How did you setup the services on hail?

Cheers,

Tom
