I recently installed pS Toolkit 3.2.2. via the LiveCD method. All good EXCEPT
I've been unable to receive any service advertisements from the global lookup
servers. The LS cache daemon is running as is crond. The output from
ls_cache_demon.log:

I am able to wget the hints file:   (http://www.perfsonar.net/ls.cache.hints),
and its contents look like:
http://ps1.es.net:8096/cache.tgz
http://ps4.es.net/cache.tgz

In turn, I am able to manually wget either of these files.  So, I am not sure
what the next step.  The time stamps in the log file are in Z, my server is in
US central time if that has any relevance.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

p.s. I apologize if this message has be received multiple times by the list
server.
