Ok.  Since you were the second person to make the same mistake, I figured
that there had to be a bad copy of the example pqact.conf actions out
there somewhere.

Assuming proper new lines and tabs, this looks fine.

Yes, exactly.  After making the change to ldmd.conf you will have to stop
and restart your LDM:

ldmadmin stop
<wait for all LDM processes to exit cleanly>
ldmadmin start

Tom,

Looks like I'm decoding!  The change to my ldmd.conf made the difference.

Thanks for your help
