Hi Massoud, re: Did you install the LDM completely? > I just completed the last installation step this morning for LDM as <root>. Very good. 'ldmadmin pqactHUP' invocations should now _not_ indicate problems. Question: - is your LDM logging working?

Thanks again. Yes. 'rpc.ldmd' and 'hupsyslog' being owned by 'root' and having setuid root privilege proves that the LDM installation is now complete. The question still is if you are getting LDM log messages. If not (i.e., if there is no ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file, or if that file has no log messages in it), it means that the steps needed to configure syslogd logging were either not done; not done correctly; or SELINUX rules are preventing logging. Please let me know that your LDM is producing log output by sending us the last few (say 50) lines from ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log.
