Excellent!

There are two possibilities here:

- you did not perform the last step in the LDM installation:

  'sudo' make install_setuids

  The idea is that 'root' must perform the final installation step for a new LDM
  build.  The other way of doing this is:

  make install
  su                   <- not 'su -'
  make install_setuids
  exit

  cd ~ldm

  To check to see if you did not perform this step, please send a long listing
  of the ~ldm/bin directory:

  <as 'ldm'>
  cd ~ldm
  ls -alt bin
  ls -alt bin/*

- the other possibility is that syslogd is not running on your system.  To
  Check this, please perform:

  ps -eaf | grep syslog

  and send the results.

I would have to believe that the first possibility is the most likely since
the previous version of the LDM was logging into ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log.

> Most likely related to that, I'm not getting any syslog or ldmd.log entries...

Yup.

Cheers,

Tom
