Hi Steve, Thanks for the quick action wrt sudo out of the 'ldm' account. I modified /etc/syslog.conf as 'root' to include the needed changes for LDM logging. I verified that the new changes work as follows: <as 'ldm'> hupsyslog logger -p local0.debug 'test of ldm logging' The test message was written into the ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log file as it should be, so logging now works. Also, using 'sudo' I was able to edit the /etc/hosts file and correct the problems I found there: the whitespace between IP addresses and fully qualified host names AND aliases MUST be tabs, not spaces. I changed all occurrences of spaces to tabs to clean up. After making these changes and then stopping and restarting the LDM, data started flowing: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin watch (Type ^D when finished) May 09 18:20:21 pqutil INFO: 1862 20080509172138.963 IDS|DDPLUS 2775231 SABZ33 SBBR 091700 May 09 18:20:21 pqutil INFO: 1454 20080509172138.964 IDS|DDPLUS 2775232 SABZ31 SBBR 091700 May 09 18:20:22 pqutil INFO: 162 20080509172139.999 IDS|DDPLUS 2775250 FTUS42 KCAE 091700 /pTAFDNL May 09 18:20:22 pqutil INFO: 263 20080509172140.000 IDS|DDPLUS 2775251 FTUS44 KJAN 091700 /pTAFGLH May 09 18:20:22 pqutil INFO: 17605 20080509172140.997 HDS 2775252 SDUS81 KOKX 091719 /pDPAOKX May 09 18:20:22 pqutil INFO: 2589 20080509172141.207 HDS 2775253 SDUS86 KSEW 091713 /pDPAATX ...
