There are 2 options, - use : local0.debug /usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log in syslog.conf and expect the log messages from the dn app to also be in the log file. This usually isn't a problem if the dn app doesn't have many messages. - Build the LDM from source, in src/ulog.h change: ulog.h:#define LOG_LDM LOG_LOCAL0 to ulog.h:#define LOG_LDM LOG_LOCAL1 Then change the syslog.conf to local1 for the LDM Robb... > Thanks...Phil > =============================================================================== Robb Kambic Unidata Program Center Software Engineer III Univ.
