Jim, I login in today. A couple of things: - first 'portmap' process is not running. Needed by LDM to register port 388. - /usr/sbin is not in the LDM $PATH, so it can't find the command rpcinfo used by ldmadmin - LDM is using the bash shell, know to have problem, use the c shell - pqact.conf has and error in it. ie [ldm@lou ~/etc]$ ldmadmin pqactcheck ./pqact.conf May 24 16:39:58 pqact[974]: Syntax error at line 1, not enough fields I fixed it, there was some extra control chars caused by your editor.
