>From: Ron Reed <address@hidden> >Organization: ARM >Keywords: 200109110136.f8B1aR120890 LDM portmapper Ron, >I have followed the setup of LDM from the website and I am seeing tons of >pqact: child[PID#]: exited with status 1, and nothing in the log. If you are seeing nothing in the LDM log file, it means that system logging has not been setup correctly. >I do not know what to do now. There are probably two different problems here: o your /etc/syslog.conf setup for LDM logging is not correct (remember that this setup has to be done by 'root'; white spaces are tabs in this file; and a HUP needs to be sent to syslogd to tell it to reread syslog.conf settings) o the process that pqact is trying to run (i.e., the object of a PIPE directive in pqact.conf) is not executable by the user running the LDM, or the action that is being run by pqact is not able to write to the directory specified in the pqact.conf entry Try checking these two possibilties out and let me know if you still have problems.
