ndt-users list created

[Richard Carlson <>]

Hi Martyn;

This error message indicates that my start.ndt script isn't finding the csh 
shell environment.  I'll also say that this script is quite old and simple 
and I'd recommend that you use the conf/ndt script instead.  This script 
uses the standard start/stop/restart syntax so it's a little better for the 
start up process.  Here's what I recommend now.

*) cd ndt-3.1.4 (or whatever version you have)
*) /bin/cp conf/ndt /etc/rc.d/init.d/ndt
*) /bin/chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/ndt
*) /etc/rc.d/init.d/ndt start   (starts the NDT server processes)

Optionally, you can also get the system to automatically start the NDT 
processes at boot time by:
*) /sbin/chkconfig --add ndt

Hopefully this will fix the problem.
