Ka Kit,

There is something wrong with configurations on halo.  I need to consult
with my sysadmin about this problem.  THere is data coming into your
machine, the pqact is running, but it's having problems writing to the
disk. Also your log files logs/ldmd.log stopped being created on Jan 26.
Here's my latest suggestions:

- stop the ldm
- reboot the machine
start the ldm via command line from LDMHOME by:

% bin/rpc.ldmd -vl - etc/ldmd.conf

This should show the error messages on the screen. Send me the error
messages and then we can go from there.

Also, It is extremely hard for me to work on halo, I can't do more, vi,
etc.  I haven't been able to work past that yet.
 

Robb...
