This looks like your 'ldmadmin' script has gotten munged somehow; perhaps when you edited it to add the 'chmod' of the LDM log file? Question: - what did you use to edit ~ldm/bin/ldmadmin (e.g., vi, gedit, emacs, etc.)? Assuming that the installed copy of 'ldmadmin' has gotten munged, you will need to re-install the LDM: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.12.14/src make install After doing this, check to see if the LDM applications that need setuid root privilege have gotten overwritten: cd ~ldm ls -alt bin/hupsyslog bin/ldmd If they are no longer owned by 'root' and have setuid root privilege, someone with 'root' privilege needs to run: <as 'root'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.12.14/src make root-actions re: > Any idea how to remedy this? See above. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
