[LDM #FGZ-978731]: LDM installation and configuration at USNA

Hi Alex,

I don't understand why ldmadmin is not being found in the ~ldm/bin directory...

Unfortunately, I am not in a location where I can easily work on this issue 
today
(I'm with a friend at the hospital).  Can we work on your problem tomorrow (via 
a call like before)?

Cheers,

To
